“Sara took care of our 2 dogs while my family was away for the weekend. She took great care of the dogs, sent pictures and left the house clean and just as we left it. She was attentive to the dogs and followed the routine we usually do with them. I would absolutely use her again”

“Kiara was a blessing! She was so attentive to our two pups. One was somewhat anxious since she'd never stayed anywhere but our home before but after a time she mellowed out and relaxed w Kiara. Our other was able to snuggle on her lap when they weren't out taking walks. She played fetch w them. She sent adorable photos of their day together. We felt secure knowing they were well cared for.”

“Another successful Pet Visit by Ms. Chelsea! I am so relieved that she is here to help me with my Pets. Thank you Rover and Chelsea for helping me with the 4! Happy New Year!”

“Adrienne was fantastic with our 3 pets for several days at our house! She communicated well and provided great photos daily. We can highly recommend Adrienne and plan to hire her again.”

“Jessica helped care for my pack over an extended weekend & took amazing care of the whole crew and the house too! I can't say enough wonderful things, I felt easy being away and knew the animals were getting the best care! Thank you again Jessica for everything!!”

“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”

“We happily had Laurie spend a long weekend with our 2 dogs at our house and everything was great! She sent lots of photos of the dogs and they seemed very much like they enjoyed themselves. She even got my picky dog to eat. Respectful with the house and we returned to happy dogs and a clean house.”

“Devon watched my dog for me over spring break recently while I traveled. It was a really positive experience and I came home to a happy puppy and well cared for house. My dog can take time to warm up to new people and Devon put in the extra effort to bond with him anyway. He also communicated really well and even sent daily pictures and few videos through the stay! I didn’t worry about my dog or house at all and it was nice to let the dog stay in his normal space rather then a kennel. I’ll definitely book in the future!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Christa. She watched our very sweet but busy Aussiedoodle who has some separation anxiety and also does not like to be left alone. Christa stuck right by her side the whole time we were gone and was incredibly attentive to her all day and night the whole time we were gone. We could tell that our dog felt comfortable with Christa almost immediately by the photos Christa generously updated us with the entire time our dog was in her care - our dog who is not a snuggler with anyone but her closest people spent tons of time snuggled up next to Christa! We could see that Christa took her outside and played with her many times throughout the day. We arranged a dog-friend playdate both days, and the other dogs' owner raved about how impressed she was by how caring Christa was and that she could tell immediately that Christa just loves dogs. We felt so comfortable that our dog was in amazing hands with all the updates Christa sent us and how happy our dog looked in the photos she sent. She also followed our directions to a T and made sure our dog's routine was kept as close to normal as possible. Christa was a complete relief for someone so anxious about leaving their dog in someone else's care. I would recommend her to ANYONE looking for an incredibly caring and comforting pet sitter who will treat your pet like her own. We would definitely use Christa again and our dog will surely be happy to see her again next time.”

“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot express enough gratitude for Crystal! This was my first time using Rover, and I was incredibly anxious about leaving my dog, Money, who struggles with severe separation anxiety. Crystal stepped in last minute and provided the most loving and attentive care I could have hoped for. She was patient, understanding, and went above and beyond to make sure Money felt safe and comfortable. I truly felt at ease knowing he was in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pet as if they were her own, look no further—Crystal is amazing! I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have worked/volunteered at animal shelters for the majority of my life. I have also cared for several foster cats and dogs to help them find forever homes. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. I am comfortable with high energy or anxious pups, can safely administer medication, and can do basic training. Leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be stressful. I want to ensure a positive experience for you and your best friend. I work remotely part-time. My morning hours are flexible and my afternoons and evenings as well. I can travel during the day outside of 12-5. At home, we can go out for potty breaks any time. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to mimic the routine and consistency that keeps your furry friend happy and comfortable. Dogs and cats thrive on routine and it is especially important when they are already distraught at your absence. By sticking to the normal times for walks, feeding, and bedtime, it gives them a sense of security and gives you peace of mind.
“Taylor has continued to watch our dog, Bec. She is timely, helpful, great with our dog, and does such a thorough job. I would recommend her to anyone and we’ll continue to use Taylor for as long as she wants to keep seeing our pup!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, starting in middle school and continuing through college and grad school. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and caring for both dogs and cats. While in school, I regularly pet sat for families in Pennsylvania and built lasting relationships through reliable, attentive care. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and sizes—including dogs with health issues who require medication, special routines, or extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong connection to animals. I grew up in a home with pets throughout my childhood—including 4 dogs (labs and pointers), 6 cats, and 10 bunnies—so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. I recently started a full-time role, but the great news is I only work three days a week! That means I still have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent care for your pets while you're away or at work. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests—I’d love to help! I take safety and trust seriously and always aim to make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort, which I know is especially important for animals who may get anxious in unfamiliar environments. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, or playtime preferences—and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands.
“Matt was very professional & attentive. Followed our tips & instructions precisely. He was pleasant & went out of his way to assure our 12 year old sheppard felt loved and comfortable. I will use Matt in the future!”
