About: Hi, I’m Matt! Throughout middle school and high school, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, providing care to various dogs. I’ve dog sat for a few people I know personally, providing drop in visits, overnight care and walks. Additionally, I've grown up with dogs, and we currently have three of our own who I’m with every day and love very much. I’m a college student (currently on break from classes) who works part time, so my availability is built around this. This means my week to week availability may not always look the same, but I will leave my schedule open for Rover whenever I can, ensuring I provide your dog with proper care. When caring for your dog in your home, they will always be safe and sound. For drop in visits, I will make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine to ensure their comfort. For walks, I will follow your dog’s pace, while always keeping my hand through the loop of the leash and wrapped around my wrist to keep them secure.
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. There were always multiple cats and dogs in my home growing up. My husband, three children (15,13,11) and myself love pets and have take care of family and friends' pets quite often, including bunnies and chickens! We had a large labradoodle with special needs in the past and currently have another large labradoodle. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes and with giving meds as needed. My kids are always up for a snuggle also! I am a homeschool, stay at home mom of 3. Now that my children are older and more independent my schedule is rather flexible. We are active and walk often and can do school anywhere! Sometimes it would be just me but at times my children (15,13,11) would accompany me as well. We have a fenced in dog run which is very secure. If I am coming to your home I will follow any and all guidelines you have to make sure your pet is safe and happy and loved while you are away.
About: With four years of experience, I've developed a deep understanding of dog care. My hands-on work has taught me to handle a variety of breeds and temperaments, managing everything from feeding and medication to special routines. My own rescue dog has added a personal layer to my professional skills. It's taught me the empathy and patience needed to build trust, proving that my approach is rooted in genuine love and a true commitment to a dog's well-being. Caring for my own rescue dog has naturally woven pet care into the very fabric of my daily and weekly routine. It's not a chore; it's a structured part of my day that brings consistency to my life, and most importantly, to his. Daily Routine: Morning: The day starts with a walk and a feeding. This isn't just about meeting his basic needs; it's our time to bond, to get some fresh air, and to start the day with a positive routine. Throughout the day: Even when I'm working, I make sure to have dedicated breaks for play and mental stimulation. This could be a quick game of fetch, a puzzle feeder, or a brief training session to reinforce good behavior. These short bursts of attention prevent boredom and keep him happy. Evening: The day winds down with another walk, dinner, and some quiet time. This is often our cuddle time, where he gets a chance to relax and feel secure, which is especially important for a rescue. When a pet stays with me, they become a temporary member of my family. My focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment that minimizes the stress of being away from home. A "Home Away from Home": I provide a structured but loving environment, mirroring a typical household. My home is completely pet-proofed, with a secure backyard for safe play and potty breaks. Consistency is Key: I work with the owner to maintain the pet's regular schedule for feeding, medication, and sleep. I have a dedicated space for each dog's belongings (food, toys, bed) to help them feel at ease.
About: I love dogs! They are the best creatures and so much more than just a pet. My Boston Terrier & I were together for 14 years, from pup to the end of his beautiful life. That bond is something I carry into every dog I care for. I’ve helped friends and family care for their dogs, fostered an adult dog through the ASPCA, and I treat every pup that comes into my care like my own. When you leave your little love with me you can breathe easy knowing they’re safe, genuinely loved, and in the best hands. I look forward to connecting with you and showing your dog the care they deserve! I work from home and am available throughout the day. Pet care isn’t my routine. Your dog will receive my full attention, love and care whether that’s a walk, a drop-in, or a cozy boarding stay at my home. In my home, dogs are free to explore and feel at home. I have a large yard where they can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time throughout the day. I love being outside and regularly take dogs to the local nature preserve for walks and hikes. I have a smoke free home and can accommodate crating if needed. I never give treats without owner approval and always clean up immediately. At your home, I show up with the same level of care and attention. Throughout every visit I send photos and updates with the same level of care and attention. I’ve been told I should be a dog photographer so expect some really great pictures of your baby!
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and cats, eventually I started working at a Pet sitting company. I love the pets special habits or tricks Have taken some basic dog training classes. I have a hybrid job that allows me to do long-term stays! I have required meetings on Tuesday morning, but otherwise have a super flexible schedule. I am not available on Saturdays or Sundays. I am not able to board at my home due to a lack of space, but my job allows me to spend full time looking after your pet. I can do check-ins or long stays if your pet needs a companion. I understand the importance of following the pet's routine.
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I have personal experience caring for senior dogs, including pets with medical needs, special diets, medications, and specific routines. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and what makes them comfortable. I’m happy to handle walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or just spend some time keeping them company. I know every pet is different, so I try to keep their normal routine as much as possible and treat them like I would my own. Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. As a doctoral student, my schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m currently at practicum on Mondays and Fridays, and I’m unavailable after 4 PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays due to classes. Outside of those times, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine! I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and routines. While I don’t currently offer pet care in my own home, I’m happy to care for pets where they’re most comfortable: their own home! I do my best to stick to each pet’s normal routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, medications, crating or carriers when needed, and plenty of attention. I’m also respectful of your home and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Matt is a kind, gracious, and flexible sitter! He took excellent care of my pups, sent me pictures, spent quality time with them, and did everything I asked and more! He was on time, sent photo and text updates, and responded quickly to messages. He went above and beyond and helped me feel at ease whilst being away from my boys. Thank you, Matt!”
“Adina is always such a rockstar for us! My two more confident cats love her and my two more shy cats are really warming up to her which is wonderful. That takes awhile with those two boys.”
About: I've owned and cared for my dog for 14 years, including daily walks, feeding, and general care. While I'm new to professional dog walking, I'm reliable, responsible, and comfortable around dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am available early mornings through 4:00 PM, Monday through Thursday. I am pretty flexible within those hours and happy to accommodate regular walking schedules. I follow your instructions and stick to your pet’s usual routine. I keep dogs safe and leashed on walks and make sure they’re comfortable and doing well the whole time.
“Emily has been so great with our two young puppies! She is super communicative and takes great care in making sure the puppies are fed, watered, and happily tired! I especially appreciate how flexible she has been in terms of scheduling and pays close attention to the directions we leave for her. Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Kathrine was fantastic! She came out for a meet and greet prior to the booking and immediately hit it off with our dog. She was professional and customer friendly start to finish. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thanks Kathrine!”
About: Surrounded by animals from a very young age, I had 8 dogs while growing up, so I know how to spot behaviors and preferences in dogs! Love to keep to a good schedule and let the dog guide the visit! I have a pretty flexible schedule! Whatever your pet needs I’ll be able to accommodate, I do not shy away from more complicated routines! I love an excursion, so let’s create an vacay for your pet while you’re on your own! Also able to pick up and drop off your little guy/girl if needed! I have a fenced in yard and no current pets of my own! I also live right in WC borough so I’ll be able to do as many walks as they want/need!
About: I have always loved animals and will love taking care of yours. Some info about me, I work as a volunteer vet tech so I am able to give your dog oral or subcutaneous medicine. My family and I have four dogs and two cats that I take care of by taking them on walks, brushing their teeth, and bathing. I have also dog sat a couple homes while pet parents are away. I am currently a student at wcu and am on a flexible schedule as my gymnastics season just ended and the semester is coming to an end. I have a Maltese poodle mix(Chase) that lives at college with me and my roommates and I always put him on a leash when letting him outside and he is currently on an eating routine. Chase is a picky pup with allergies and high anxiety so I have understood how to deal with high maintenance dogs and well as my sisters German shepherd and lab and the two dogs and cats my parents have at home. I am well versed with taking care of any type of dog or cat.
About: My hubby and I have been caring for dogs for years, from friends’ and family’s pets to repeat pet-sitting clients. We absolutely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. We have a Cockapoo of our own who is completely spoiled, so we know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, we’ll make sure they feel right at home. We’re also having our wedding in April 2027, so every booking helps us save for our big day while doing something we genuinely love. ❤️ I work in special education, which gives me several mornings and afternoons available throughout the week. During the summer, I’m off every Friday, so I’m available for long weekends starting Friday through Sunday. Because of my schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. My husband also helps whenever needed, so your dog receives plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and love throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. Our home is in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with a spacious backyard and several parks and walking trails nearby. We always supervise outdoor time and never introduce pets to unfamiliar dogs without your permission. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. You’ll also receive plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in great hands.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thorndale
Stephen was absolutely wonderful with my big guy: he took excellent care of him while we were out of state for a wedding. He was super interactive, sending photos and updates. Extra kudos to him because Jameson can be a stubborn walker and a very strong puller. Stephen handled him with care and even shared some tips on how to get him to stay focused during his walk. 10 out of 10 would recommend if I could give 20 stars I would thank you Stephen for taking great care of my boy last weekend!
I was so nervous about finding someone new to help with our dog and Erin has been the best!! She’s so easy to communicate with and has been amazing with our pit mix, and he absolutely loves her! She provides updates and pictures…I am on the opposite side of the country but feel completely at ease knowing he is in great hands!
I was surprised with the level of experience that Juliana had with dogs when we did our meet and greet. She was very engaging and clearly had a great connection with our pets. Will definitely plan to keep working with her in the future. I would strongly recommend
Brady did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! He visited 3 times a day and sent reports and pictures each day. His communication was awesome! Knowing that our pets were in good hands made our vacation even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! We look forward to having him help with our girls again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vu has been excellent! This was our first time going away and it has been a relief to allow Rosie to stay in the comfort of her own home while we were gone. We got a ton of pictures and updates and it made us feel super comfortable. I am incredibly grateful we found Vu and will definitely be booking with him again for our next vacation!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Thorndale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
