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: HI! My name is Alisha and the only thing I love more than a good pun is a good doggie! I have been a lover of all animals since as early as I can remember. I am very active and love bringing the pups out on my runs and exploring nature together. I am patient and love cuddles and kisses, but am a stickler for manners, rules, and boundaries. I have experience with deaf dogs, potty training, and crate training. My schedule is very flexible right now for any service you are in need of and have reliable transportation. I hope I can meet your doggie soon so I can have another new four-legged friend! There is a lot of flexibility in my current work schedule, so that means I have pretty open availability to supervise, play, and cuddle with your baby!! In my house home pets are part of the family. They deserve all the love and attention to give them the very best life possible!
“Jessica was great with our girl Rosie! We booked her pretty last minute and she was super responsive when initially booking and setting up a meet & greet. We will definitely be booking with her again! :)”
“I really appreciated Brenna caring for my two cats over the busy holiday. It was my first experience using a pet sitter as well as my first time leaving my cats. Brenna was willing to come for an introduction and was very responsive to all communication. She also quickly modified the contract when needed. She seems to have a way with animals and they take to her very well. On the pet cam footage, I could see my cat, Bogey, follow her around - so cute! Would recommend!”
“Abby was great, she communicated along every step and made it easy for me. First time leaving a stranger with access to my home and she made it much easier. I 100% would trust her again.”
“Ava, is absolutely wonderful! She is so thoughtful, an amazing communicator, and most importantly, took such good care of our cat when we were away. She really made sure she got to know her, played with her, and kept her enraged. I highly recommend Ava!!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have experience with all age ranges. I keep the house very clean and I am a huge dog person! I'm currently working part time and am in school, but have a flexible schedule. I am able to balance my time very well and I have excellent time management. I make sure that I go above and beyond the pets basic needs. I absolutely love animals so I love and care for others pets as if they are my own.
About: I have had pets in my home since I was born, and currently have a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old back at home with my mom now. I fostered a pup from ACCT Philly for a few months, volunteered at the Humane Society, and often dog-sit for friends/ family. I have class every day for 1-3 hours, but I am open anytime outside of my class hours and have a super flexible, accommodating schedule. I follow their request and expectation for how their dog is to be treated and cared for, while giving them appropriate attention and exercise. I ensure I am present to care for the dog and ensure all their needs are met.
“Lauren was awesome. We felt very comfortable with her after our initial meet and greet with Max. Max warmed up to her immediately. Lauren provided text messages and photos for each visit which was very comforting for us. We knew Max was in good hands. ?”
“Avery is fantastic! 150% comfortable with her taking care of my kitty while we are away. The kids love the pics she sends of their kitty and it helps them know she’s well taken care of!”
About: I have had dogs and all sorts of pets in my house my whole life. I have experience with dogs of all types and ages from training puppies only a couple months old to caring for very old dogs. I constantly take care of neighbors and friends dogs when they’re away and I can’t wait to love on yours as well. 💗 I am a rising senior student-athlete at WCU and have a good amount of during the day most days to walk dogs as well as plenty of time most weekends to dog sit/house sit. I always keep on eye on the pet and in the same room as me if dog/housesitting. I give them plenty of love and attention and let them out and for walks whenever needed and instructed. I will love each and every pet I work with as my own!
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs and cats growing up and now own a dog myself. I have many years of experience taking care of animals. Pet care is apart of my everyday life. I have my own dog so she fits into my schedule before and after work and on the weekends! When caring for pets during drop in visits, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while you’re not there. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and the care they need during each visit. For dogs, I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. For cats, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and a little playtime. I am also comfortable administering medications. I love keeping pet parents updated, so I provide photos and messages after visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care whenever you can’t be there.
“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!”
About: Your pet won't just be supervised—they will be completely folded into my daily routine, receiving constant affection, belly rubs, and inclusion in family life. My experience with animals isn't just a job; it’s a lifelong calling. For over a decade, I have cared for a diverse family of pets, mastering the art of reading their subtle body language and anticipating their needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality—from the high-energy pup who needs an exhausting game of fetch to the quiet senior who wants a gentle hand on their head. My hands-on experience has taught me how to establish instant trust, calm anxious minds, and provide a nurturing environment where pets don't just stay, but truly thrive. As a work-from-home entrepreneur, my schedule is entirely my own—which means your pet is never an afterthought, but a central part of my day. Because I control my hours, I don’t leave for a 9-to-5. Instead, my workspace is shared with your pet, offering them a constant, comforting human presence that drastically reduces separation anxiety. My daily routine is intentionally built around natural breaks that perfectly mirror a dog's need for stimulation, affection, and rest. I transform my home into a peaceful, tail-wagging sanctuary where your pet is treated as an honored family member, not a guest. Because I work from home, my environment is calm, highly predictable, and entirely secure.
“Sarah was so helpful for a last minute drop in offering our pup extra attention. It was comforting knowing Molly was well taken care of and that Sarah knew her routines and quirks from pet sitting before. Highly recommend”
“I needed a cat sitter last minute for 4th of July weekend, and luckily I found Morgan for drop-in visits. She was very sweet and accommodating, and took excellent care of my cats. She provided detailed updates, lots of photos, and took the time to play and interact with them. I trusted that my cats were in good hands with her. I’d recommend Morgan to anyone in need of a petsitter!”
“Makinzie was amazing!! She was able to help us last minute which was extremely helpful. She sent lots of photos and her communication was great. She even went out of her way to clean up after our dogs and bring a package in for us. Definitely will be using her again!”

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!

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!

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
