“Our dogs were incredibly well cared for during their stay with John and his wife. They were very thoughtful in sending updates and photos. I really feel that they cared about our dogs and didn’t see this as just a job. They are wonderful people and your dogs will be in great hands with them.”
“Sandra took great care of my dog, had plenty of space for him to run around and play. Beautiful, large fenced in yard for the animals to enjoy. Would definitely recommend.”
“Yvi and Christians hospitality was amazing. They were incredibly dependable and made sure my dog felt secure and cared for while I was gone. It was clear they truly enjoy their work, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable hands. I'll definitely be booking with them again!"”

“Olivia took great care of Mocha and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was kind, reliable, and clearly cared about him. I really appreciated the peace of mind and would definitely recommend her.”
“Rachel and Jason took great care of our little Shi-Chi overnight. Pepper is usually such a creature of habit that we didn't know what to expect, but seeing the photos of her while we were away really put our minds at ease. Rachel even went the extra mile cuddling our little lap dog and seeing that her ponytail and bow were straight. Highly recommend!”
“Zeke had a great time at Samantha’s. She gave us constant updates. She took special care of Zeke as he has some hip issues. I glad I found her and would definitely use her services in the future.”
“Pamela totally saved us with a last minute request! She was very accommodating to my old senior Mochi and was able to arrange a quiet area for him to rest as well as a fenced outdoor area for him to roam. I was a little worried letting someone else watch Mochi since he's old dog ailments and we're from out of town, but Pamela gave me such a peace of mind with her experience with senior dogs and it showed with how great she took care of my ol'boy! I will definitely be back in touch with Pamela next time we're in the area and need a dogsitter :)”
“Our dog loves Jennifer. Every time we book her to watch our dog, he gets so excited to see her. She constantly sends photos to update us on how our pup is doing. We can always rely on her to take great care of our dog.”

“Rene was so wonderful with my senior boy. I was anxious to leave him for the first time ever but, Rene’s sweet and welcoming disposition took away all my fears. We will definitely be seeing her again!”
“Khola stay with Chrissy was a great experience for her being around other dogs. Chrissy was a great sitter. She was very patient with Khola she kept me updated with Texas as well as pictures. I will highly recommend Chrissy for anyone who has a dog that has not been left with other dogs before Chrissy is very patient and lovable.”

“I figured I should write an updated review since Isela has watched our cat Huey over 10 times now (twice for a week or more), and I only reviewed after the first visit. She is very reliable, trustworthy, and respectful. She's a big animal lover, and Huey seems to miss her when we come back!”
About: Dog loving photographer mama, I’ll treat your dog like my own! We only have one dog almost two year old black Shepherd Retriever, we go on early morning walks off leash, car ride to our local dog park with our frequent coffee shop drop in visit. I’ve trained all ages of dogs, and have dealt with all different type of behavioral dogs. Our dog get along with all dogs, and he’ll adjusted his behavior to adapt to them. We start our mornings at 5:30am with a long walk down our country roads down hill then back up the steep hill, helps my pup burn his energy. Then around noon, we’ll go for another walk and play frisbee or catch in our yard. We’ll also go for a car ride to our local dog park, and he’ll play there for about 15/20 mins. Then around 5pm, we’ll play in the yard till husband gets home. We have a large yard unfenced for our pup to ran and play fetch. I have one friendly pup, we loves playing with all types of dogs. We also have a large crate, we leave open for our dog to lay in but able to easily crate your dog if needed. Our dog is housed trained but he finds his crate comforting when we’re not home so we leave crate door open.
“Poncho kitty and I are very grateful to have found Linda through Rover! She is kind, dependable, and trustworthy. I can tell my (often sensitive) boy was very comfortable when she visited with him while we were away. Linda sent pictures and was easy to communicate with during the whole process. Thank you, Linda!”
“Chelsea, is extremely reliable, polite and earnest about her responsibilities! I will most definitely be booking her for future visits! I am so grateful for her being prompt to help and assist me in my time of need. My furbabies are also great full for the time she spent with them!! Thank you for being you!”
About: Hi there! I’m a recently graduated physician assistant (PA) awaiting my hospital start date so my availability is currently wide open and I’m eager to help care for your beloved pets however I can. My schedule is easily customizable. I’m most eager for drop ins and walks to fill up my day meaningfully, yet offer sitting and boarding as well. I’m happy to offer a complimentary meet & greet ahead of services to ensure that it’s a good fit for all. I’ve had family pets of all species and sizes ever since I was born, growing up in 4H/ with large animals so I know a thing or two about general animal care. My experiences are varied and have lent to an above average animal sense. I’ve cared for senior pets, pets with advanced medical needs and my own animals during post-op recovery. One unique perk is that my sister is a veterinarian of 15 years and offers me an additional wealth of knowledge. Many might consider me a helicopter pet parent, which I’m proud to claim. No unsupervised grass/ twig chomping or foreign body scares with me around! I own two senior dogs: Remi and Paisley. They love everyone and everything but are at the age where sleep is the ruler of their day. I’m joining Rover semi selfishly because they have less ability for adventures now, yet unselfishly as any boarding time that your pet spends with us means spoiled vacation time with grandma and grandpa for them. However, I’m happy to keep them around if you have a puppy who needs socializing/ wise knowledge gathering from their elders. I’m a recently graduated physician assistant awaiting my start date so my availability is currently wide open and I’m eager to help care for beloved pets however I can. My schedule is easily customizable. In my home/ in life, pets are considered cherished family members. I am attentive, interactive and just overall excited to meet some new furry pals. I can keep up with any personality from frantic ball chaser to subdued couch potato. I know that every pet is different just as any human is different and am happy to accommodate in whatever way makes all happy.

“Will definitely use Sydney again. I don’t trust very many people with my baby but she did an amazing job with him :) very attentive to my pup. He was very excited to be dropped off in the morning. He came home tired and happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave him with❤️”
“We were so lucky to have Ellen watch our dog, Ziva! She has separation anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving her with someone new in a new environment. Ellen was so reassuring from the start, promising to take good care of her. And she absolutely did. Her sweet dog, Cleopatra, was so friendly and helped Ziva feel comfortable right away. Our first impression was unforgettable- Ziva followed Ellen, which is rare for her with someone she doesn’t know. Ellen took extra care to comfort Ziva when she was anxious and sent us picture updates that really put our minds at ease. Because of Ellen, we were able to enjoy our event without constantly checking our phones. This was such a relief, especially since we’ve had a bad experience with a previous sitter who never sent updates. Ellen went above and beyond, and we could truly feel the difference in Ziva’s comfort. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ellen, for caring for Ziva like she was your own!”
“I'm so happy to have found Kelli! My 3.5 month old puppy, Luna, got to meet cows, played with a variety of other dogs, and went swimming for the first time! Kelli provided lots of photos and updates - Luna clearly had the best time of her life! I'll absolutely use Kelli again when needed.”
“Sandra is so nice and she was such a great fit for Cooper and our family!! We appreciate her so much, she’s so kind. Everyday she sent us pictures of our lab having so much fun with other dogs and her chihuahua. We are definitely going to book her again!!!”
“Pamela is amazing!! Our pup has separation anxiety issues that we were worried about and she actually sent us photos to show how well he was assimilating with the other dogs!! You can really tell she cares and knows how to work with dogs of all ages and sizes. Will def work with her again if we're ever back in PA!”
About: Experience with multiple breeds of dogs ranging from Toy Poodles, Rottweilers, Shepards, Mastiffs, etc. experience with other animals as well ex. Goats, baby pigs, ferrets, etc. I have a work from home schedule, with an occasional in office day during the week, so majority of my time is spent at home. I have a fenced in yard with room to play, along with two of my own friendly dogs. Relaxing environment and great area to take walks in the neighborhood if your pet likes to be active.Based off your preference of your pets being allowed on furniture beds/couches I will go by to make them feel as close to home as possible.
About: I have a wide variety of experience with all sorts of animals. I’ve had large and small dogs, cats, rodents, amphibians, and lizards, I even had a pot belly pig, sheep & duck as a child. I also volunteered at a local vet when I was a teenager and gained a lot of hands on experience caring for many types of animals! I’m a stay at home mom and I homeschool my two teenage daughters. They absolutely adore animals as well. I feel this will allow me to spend a lot of one on one time with your pet. Your fur baby will be well cared for and interacted with while they’re here! (Please note that Rover doesn’t consider my children’s ages to count towards, “children being present in our home.” However, I think this information should be available to those who choose to put their pets in my care. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your fur baby to run! I also have separate family room in my house where our dogs sleep at night, and that is where I would put crates if they need to be crated at any time.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! This family is so kind and lovely. They took such good care of my pup, have a beautiful home and a large fenced in yard for the dogs to run free. I appreciated being able to tour the property and meet their family ahead of time as well. The icing on the cake was meeting their sweet little Corgi who was amazing with my dog. 10/10 would highly recommend!”
About: I have over 45 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages as well as many other types of animals that have honored me with living with me over the years (cats, horses, gecko, Madagascar hissing cockroach, parrots, flying squirrel, rabbits). My original dream was to become a vet so I have a background interning with veterinarian, working multiple years in a grooming and boarding facility and had my own very successful animal care and sitting business as a teenager. I have great nail trimming skills as well! Animals are naturally drawn to me and sense my love and respect for them. I work remotely so am pretty flexible with schedules. I also have taken the pet CPR course! I work remotely from home so am flexible in what I can offer. I feed my own pets multiple times a day and am able to monitor what is consumed. I also live in a beautiful community near parks for nice walks. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs who live next door who are always interested in playdates if desired. I work remotely so have flexibility in what I can offer clients. I do have a crate on premises if you do not have although I prefer (as do pets) for them to have their familiar one! There are friendly cats who live with me although I would likely gate off my kitchen / sunroom area where my office is so that I can supervise and ensure harmony with unknown pet if in my home.
About: I have experience, taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens. I am willing to take care of smaller animals, such as hamsters, birds or guinea pigs as well. During the summer, I am home most days of the week. I am a full time teacher so I am off during the summer. Therefore I am very reliable and flexible with times. I have a fenced in yard that’s big enough for dogs to get some exercise. I have two kids who enjoy seeing and meeting new animals.
“Our puppy loves spending time with Ben and Alexa! Their farm is perfect for allowing her to run out energy and get used to a variety of animals - horses, chickens, etc. Honestly, we're jealous of the time she gets to spend there! Ben and Alexa clearly love her as much as we do, and treat her like family. They send lots of photos so I always know what she's up to. She comes home completely exhausted :) We'll absolutely continue to book stays with them and highly recommend them for anyone else looking for wonderful, caring sitters!”

I am interested in walking, sitting, home visits and boarding animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, cows, chickens, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, hermit crabs, etc! I am skilled at taking care of many different animals. I currently own a dachshund and a Bichon poo. My dogs are my world!! If you want someone who will treat your pet like family I am your girl!

About: Hi! I’m Rebecca — a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by pets and farm animals since the day I was born. From dogs and cats to cows and chickens, caring for animals has always been a part of my everyday life. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, loved, and happy in my care. ❤️ What I Offer Whether it’s a relaxing neighborhood stroll, an energetic walk to burn off some zoomies, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I provide reliable, compassionate care. You can count on me to treat your pet like part of my family — because to me, that’s exactly what they are. I work full time Monday-Friday so I’m available for walks in the evenings during the week and all day on the weekends. I’m also exploring options with boarding at my house in the country with my 2 dogs-Lulu and Buddy! During our walks, I: Use secure leashes and harnesses to ensure safety at all times Keep a close eye on surroundings to avoid hazards or stressful encounters Provide a balanced mix of exercise, sniffing time, and positive attention Offer water breaks on warm days and adjust the pace based on your dog’s needs Give plenty of praise, reassurance, and affection to make every walk enjoyable When we return, I always make sure your dog is comfortable, has fresh water, and is settled before I leave. My goal is to make each walk something your dog looks forward to — safe, fun, and full of tail wags! 🐾

I have completed several dog training lessons and have work diligently with my present dog I rescued that is high anxiety. I walk my hound dog 5-6 days a week. I’ve participated in dog fundraisers and 5k to raise money for shelters. I feel it’s important that dogs are treated like family but should listen well. We’ve taken our dogs on vacation and rides. I will be sure to give your pet one on one attention while I am attending at your home. I will send pics and updates while visiting along with treats if you prefer for me to do so.
About: Hi my name is Natalie! For the past 5 years I worked as a dog walker and sitter in Pittsburgh. I have recently moved to the area and I am hoping to keep doing what I love, which is playing with and taking care of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile! I have 2 of my own pups, a beagle and a coon hound. My schedule is very flexible and I have experience with dogs from chihuahuas to great danes. I also am able to administer insulin, give medication, and adhere to strict diets if its needed. I can also provide references from old clients and the company I was employed under, if wanted. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope you take me into consideration to be your furry friends caretaker! :)
About: I have had dogs for the past 30 years. I am an approved foster home for a pug rescue. I have rescued several dogs! The last two years, I have been a dog walker! The dog I recently rescued was a client I walked whose mom was disabled. She needed more care than her mom could give her. We bonded from the first walk, and I knew I could be her forever home! I have a blind/deaf pug as well. I do a lot of housesitting and dogsitting it’s always a joy! My home is on an acre. I have my own business out of my home, and so I am home all day and your pet will not be left alone! I am home all day running my health coach business. Pet care will keep me busy and your animal happy..and the resident dogs will love having playmates! I do have a portion of my yard fenced in so the dogs have lots of room to run and play and be dogs. Dogs are rarely crated unless they are used to that and the owner request that they have time in their crate. I am home the majority of the time. I work from home on a part-time basis so I am with the dogs the majority of the time. When the dogs come to my home, it is like they are on their own little vacation. They have a good time playing with the other dogs and go home tired.
About: My experience and extensive training sets me apart from other sitters. I know how to handle any situation that may arise. I’m responsible and will follow all instructions to the tee I am retired and available to care for your pets any time any day at your convenience. It will be just like you are there. I have a fenced in yard. And inside the house various gated rooms to separate. At your house I will follow all of your instructions and safety protocols
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, dogs, cats, rabbits, and even fish, so caring for pets feels like second nature to me. I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years for families with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’m patient, calm, and very intentional about making animals feel safe and comfortable, especially in new environments. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior cues so each pet gets the care that fits them best. I also have experience with puppies who need extra guidance and playtime, as well as senior pets who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or gentle handling. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands. 🐾💛 I fit pet care into my schedule before and after work as well as in the evening hours. This way your pets are given the time they need. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in every home. I follow your pet’s normal schedule, keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language so they feel relaxed and understood. I always ensure fresh water, clean litter or feeding areas, and provide playtime, cuddles, or quiet company depending on what your pet prefers. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 and have been dog sitting since I was 17 and had my license. All dogs large and tiny from chihuahua to Great Dane! I can also handle giving dogs medication as our childhood dog had diabetes and needed insulin shots twice daily. I work from my home but I can also come to your home as well. I am very flexible with my hours and can do long term and short term care. I have a fenced back yard so there is plenty of room for them to run and play. Also my house is dog proofed :) I also take care of reptiles ❤️ I am a stay at home mom to 2 little boys. I am home the majority of the time to care for your pets! I do occasionally have to run my kids to therapy or run errands. I have a fenced in backyard outside. Inside I have plenty of toys, blankets, dog beds and more. Safety is my number one priority when they are in my care.

“Pamela totally saved us with a last minute request! She was very accommodating to my old senior Mochi and was able to arrange a quiet area for him to rest as well as a fenced outdoor area for him to roam. I was a little worried letting someone else watch Mochi since he's old dog ailments and we're from out of town, but Pamela gave me such a peace of mind with her experience with senior dogs and it showed with how great she took care of my ol'boy! I will definitely be back in touch with Pamela next time we're in the area and need a dogsitter :)”

We would highly recommend them. I’m sure Ahsoka would love to go back again and hang out with her new dog buddies too! Thanks again!!”
“Words cannot express my satisfaction having Annette look after Axel. Learning of her experience with fosters it was a no brainer to book with her. My experience dropping off and picking up, seeing her interact with my boy and hearing how she handled situations with him, solidified she will be my go to sitter. It was wonderful peace of mind to know Axel would be taken care of in a lovely home environment.”

“We use Sarah exclusively now and Huck loves going to her house. This stay we had a medical emergency that prevented us from making drop off. Sarah drove out of her way to pick Huck up with it being her suggestion. This was such a huge help to us. We are so grateful and thankful that we found her!!”
“Jacob was the absolute best with Benji. Our regular sitter was out of town and on short notice, Jacob saved the weekend for us. Right away from drop-off I had a sense of calm and peace with Jacob, his pets, and his beautiful backyard. Jacob sent pictures while away that showed Benji fitting right in with his new friends. I'll gladly use Jacob's services again and he really helped put our mind at ease!”
“Nat &Ally are amazing, this is by far the best Rover service that I ever had and I have been using Rovers for more than 3 years. They are very attentive, they do a meeting before the drop off day, they truly want to make sure my furbaby will feel welcome and safe. They asked all the right questions, food, timing, snacks, what is he allowed or not to do and so on. They have a backyard which is great for my chocolate lab to play and they have a playful dog that was perfect for Rocco. We even got a drawing from Rocco, from one of the kids, that made me cry…Happy cry! They are all super sweet. Love their vibe and respect. I recommend them 100%. I would be looking forward to work with them more often.”
“Marieliz was fantastic with our dog. We have a larger breed dog, and she was confident and able to handle him with no problem. She made us feel very comfortable while traveling, keeping us up-to-date with a daily summary and photos and videos of how he was doing and what they did throughout the day. She kept his routine, and feeding schedule the same way we have it at home. She gave him a great deal with love and he came back happy and healthy. We would definitely use her again.”
“She was super understanding my flight got delayed and I had to leave my dog for an extra and she didn’t even hesitate to help accommodate me. I will never choose another dog sitter !”
