About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me. I look forward to meeting your pets!
About: I’ve checked in on multiple pets before. Friends and my own family and relatives message me to come in, walk their dog, feed and give them water, and keep them company for a while! I love pets so when I found out I could get paid for it, I was astounded! I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, with tender love and care. I am a working college student at the moment, so I would be working part time. I would make time for my clients though, especially how I often have time in between my classes and I also have time after school during the week and on weekends. While I currently do not offer pets in my home, I will respect your home by keeping it clean and untouched by the time I leave. Now I will keep your pet company if that is the service you’d like and by doing so, we might empty their toys on the ground and play for a bit. That being said, it will be cleaned up and so will messes made by their food or water before I leave the house as well.
“Lynn was absolutely amazing. I had an issue with Rover double-charging me for a sitter I didn’t even use, and although it wasn’t her responsibility, Lynn was incredibly accommodating and willing to help in any way she could. She kept me updated with detailed messages twice a day about my pets and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly made this entire experience stress-free, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. We need more people like her—10/10, highly recommend!”
About: I have learned a lot from our one dog especially over the years. I attended trainings for him to help him and he is thriving today. I have also done dog walking with wag for a year. I may be able to do some services after 4pm during the week. I am available mostly every weekend for services. It all depends on the service needed. I won't be offering services in my own home since our one dog suffers with anxiety. I will follow the rules with whatever the client is saying. I will ensure a safe and loving environment for your babies.
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages from kittens and puppies to seniors. Including potty training, regular training, food aggression, dietary needs, medication administration, exercising, basic commands, diabetes injections, aggression/behavioral issues. I work real estate so I have a lot of down time in between work to stop in and check in, walk and play with your furbabies. I will follow any routines owners have to a T and don’t mind any special requests. My only goal is to make your furbaby happy and your mind at ease while you’re away.
“Amanda is fantastic! She was amazing with all three of my dogs. They loved her from the moment they met her! She took excellent care of them and I will definetly be using her again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. In addition to my own dogs, I would walk my neighbors dogs and feed them when they were away. In medical school, two roomates rescued two dogs under two (months). So I had a lot of experience with the energy of puppies and the potty training process. As a household, we trained them simple commands as well. am currently applying for Family Medicine residencies so I am off from school this winter for interview season so I am hoping to dog-sit when not interviewing. I am happy to walk dogs, bathe, and feed them. I am comfortable with all ages. I am comfortable with all rules (sitting/not sitting on furniture).

At home, I care for my own animals on ten peaceful acres near Moscow, Pennsylvania, including an Arabian horse, five ducks, and two cats. I am deeply committed to the well-being of every animal entrusted to me and take great pride in treating them with the same love, patience, and attention as I do my own. I would be delighted to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you are away.

I am diligent about maintaining established routines, understanding how important consistency is for animals and their well-being.

For large breeds especially, I make sure they get the exercise and calm leadership they need to thrive. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening wind downs, caring for dogs isn’t just a task it’s a lifestyle I genuinely enjoy. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, structure, and comfort tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. In my home, large breeds enjoy a spacious, secure environment with plenty of room to stretch out, daily walks, and calm leadership. When staying in a client’s home, I maintain their routines feeding schedules, exercise habits, and preferred commands to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I treat every dog like family, with a balance of affection and attentive care that keeps tails wagging and owners at ease.

Throop dog parents share their Rover experiences
Megan was great with Lennox during drop-ins while I was away from home for a full day. She let him out, sat with him inside and on the back deck, gave him treats and kept him well-fed and happy. Her definitely seemed to have had a joyful day and Megan was reliable, courteous and very responsive with communications before, during and after her visits. I plan to utilize her expertise again soon.
Mary is an exceptional pet sitter for my puppy. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cares about his well-being. She takes the time to engage him in play and keeps him happy and active, which gives me great peace of mind. Mary follows all instructions perfectly and is consistently reliable and communicative. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Celine was lovely! Our pups connected right away, so it was obvious they would be fine. Celine asked great questions about our pups medical history, personalities, etc., and shared her experiences working with animals. Our pups had a great time! We already planned more visits for her to take care of our babies!
Summer is great! We love having her as our rover. She goes above and beyond for us every visit. She’s very communicative during visits with pictures and updates. She follows all directions and is very reliable. I feel very at ease leaving our animals in summers care. If you need a sitter, I couldn’t recommend her enough!
