“Joanne was amazing!!! She took excellent care of our babies and sent lots of pictures from each visit. I loved that! She was communicative, reliable, and punctual. Our kitties seemed to love her. I would definitely recommend!”

“Kendra was incredible with our puppy! We just moved here and needed help with him during a particularly busy week. She was so patient with him and gave him some much needed company. We’ll definitely be asking her for help again in the future :)”

“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Victoria! This was the first I left me cats for an extended period (16 days) and the first I used Rover. Victoria was incredible to deal with and took great care of my 2 cats. Each day she spent time playing, feeding and cleaning up after them and also sent me 8-10 pics each day! Knowing she was caring foe my girls allowed be to enjoy the trip of a lifetime. I am so thankful I found her!”

About: *I also also available in the Tunkhannock area* As a graduate student, I enjoy pet/house sitting knowing that I can provide peace of mind that things will be properly taken care of while you're away! I have repeat experience with 6 families where I took care of their cats, dogs, gardens, plants, and home. If we work together, you will see that I am attentive, responsible, and trustworthy. I have a flexible schedule and would enjoy carving out to spend with your pet! Because I’m a student, I have time throughout my day to go for walks, play, or spend quality time with your pets! I typically drop in to your house 2-3 times a day (depending on your needs) where I spend multiple hours a day with your pets including walks or time outside. I will leave your home like I found it and am open to doing extra tasks if discussed to help out!
“Mary did a great job checking in our cats while we were away! Our cats are very shy, and she took the time to find them and take a pic for us to make sure they were ok. By the end she had them coming out to see her during the visit. Would highly recommend!”

About: I will fully cater to your dogs needs, including diabetic and senior dogs- 20 years of loving and doting on dogs. I’m able to solely focus on your dogs wants and needs. I have a nice sized deck for fresh air and sunbathing (once the weather warms up!). I don’t have pets of my own anymore so I really enjoy having new friends to bond with. I also enjoy the reassurance that I’m able to provide dog families knowing their furry friend is in good hands, while they focus on the reason their away from them in the first place. ❤️ I will do my very best to accommodate any routine that your pet is normally used to-and I always appreciate detailed instructions and tips that you’re willing to provide me. Your pets aren’t left alone during the day. At least one walk a day, more if weather permits- I try to always make the most of good weather in this area! Overall, I’m as active as the dog wants or needs to be.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two of my own, so caring for them is second nature to me. I’ve pet sat for extended periods more than 50 times, making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every dog like my own and am happy to provide references if need I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnights if needed. Whether it’s a quick potty break or extended time, I can be there. I keep pets comfortable and stress-free by sticking to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions. I take a calm, patient approach to build trust and make sure each dog feels safe and cared for. I also treat every client’s home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it, while staying communicative throughout the stay.
“Rebooked with Kacey and Kelly a second time and they did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country! It made our trip much better to know they were being well cared for and to get updates on them. Highly recommend!”

About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.
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.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I currently have three dogs of my own: Beary, a Mini Aussie, Ozzy, a Toy Poodle, and Theo, my 10-year-old XL Pitbull. Having dogs with different personalities and energy levels has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and understanding of each dog’s individual needs. I also have experience dog sitting for family members and friends, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure their pets feel comfortable and safe while they’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and always make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I’m very interested in pursuing a career in the animal care field, so working with and caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I already care for my own three dogs every day. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving dogs attention throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays, and have a lot of flexibility. I am also available sometimes on the weekend, definitely feel free to ask. I make sure every dog in my care gets plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and calm environment for every dog in my care. I have three friendly dogs of my own—Beary (Mini Aussie), Ozzy (Toy Poodle), and Theo (my 10-year-old XL Pitbull)—who are used to being around other dogs. Upon request for certain dogs that get nervous around larger dogs, I could have the pitbull separated during your dog’s stay. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable. I can easily crate dogs if that is part of their normal routine and follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care requests from owners. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, relaxed, and treated like part of the family.
About: All my life I have had pets and I have taken care of them with a lot of love and understanding. The necessary care is with me. I work from home, I have no problems with schedules Time is not a problem for me, you will always be welcome in my house The owner must give me the schedules for each pet and specific care. I must know if they have a type of training The pets
“We knew within minutes of meeting Alannah that she was going to be a good fit to watch our pups. She had genuine interactions and care for both of them. You can tell she’s an animal lover! She was very prompt with her check ins and always gave us detailed info about what was going on. We’ll absolutely book with her in the future!”

“Freya took amazing care of our 3 vizslas for a week while we traveled out of the country. I was immediately assured by beautiful pictures of our pups enjoying themselves at home. She made a difficult situation of having a more anxious older dog(almost 11) who can no longer stay away from home possible . Not only did she fulfill our requests she went above and beyond to be proactive with their good care and treatment . I highly recommend Freya for your dog watching needs. She handled our 3 energetic, fun loving vizslas with ease. If I could give her six stars I would! Thank you Freya for the quality care and kindness.”

Throop pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Victoria! This was the first I left me cats for an extended period (16 days) and the first I used Rover. Victoria was incredible to deal with and took great care of my 2 cats. Each day she spent time playing, feeding and cleaning up after them and also sent me 8-10 pics each day! Knowing she was caring foe my girls allowed be to enjoy the trip of a lifetime. I am so thankful I found her!

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!
