“My pup Topaz had the best time with Ellen. Ellen took time with Topaz and made it fun for her. Since Topaz is a senior dog, she is very sensitive to her environment, and she fit in with the other dogs as well. I will be bringing her back on a regular basis now!”
“Tyson was well taken care of while we were on vacation for a week. Renee sent me photos everyday showing how spoiled he was getting! He had an amazing time and was exhausted after I picked him up. Thank you!”
“Very good experience everytime with the sitter. They always send pictures and vedios and give all the updates. We know that our Shiner is always in good hands. We are very thankful.”
“I had to leave my dog Thenji with Adrienne and Nick at very short notice. They were able to take her. It was so reassuring to know that she was being so lovingly cared for!”
“Terri was the epitome of perfect. She was just what my pet Blossom needed. Attention, affection, love, she filled all of those things, and then some. She took many pictures kept us up-to-date, and eased my anxiety!!! I would use her again and again and again, top-notch for sure!!!”
“Chris and Gerry are so nice, loving, and kind. My girls felt at ease while staying with them. It helps that they only take one client at a time. If you are looking for someone to love your babies like their own, look no further. Definitely book with Chris and Gerry!”
“Rachel and Jason were wonderful with our new puppy. It was our first time leaving her overnight, and the videos and pictures were very reassuring. I know she was loved and well taken care of!”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“First time using Rover and we were lucky to choose Rene. She took wonderful care of Cooper. Sent daily updates and pictures. Will definitely use Rene in the future.”
“Sandra took amazing care of our dog while we were on vacation! He had a wonderful time playing and interacting with the other dogs (as proven by all the awesome pictures we were sent detailing his stay). We couldn’t be happier with the service Sandra provided. Great communication, very responsive, and kind. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I recently lost my 14-year old bulldog and I am looking to reconnect with dogs before committing to another long term companion. I have experience with senior dog care, to include dogs with cancer and dementia. I work full-time from home. During the day, I would be able to offer 2 15 -minute bathroom visits/walks during my breaks from work. I also have flexibility when other needs arise. In the evenings, I am free to give your dog as much love and attention as they desire. I only accept 1 dog at a time (unless multiple dogs are from the same owner and the dogs are pair bonded). I was single handedly responsible for my own dog for 11 years before she died of old age, so I know what it takes to compassionately care for a dog. I have also watched my friends’ dogs and my parent’s dog for weeks at a time. Taking care of dogs is not a new experience for me. I work from home and have complete control over the flexibility of my schedule. I can take breaks from my work to attend to your dogs needs 2 times per day during my 15-minute breaks. I am free evenings. I can also use my breaks to give walks/pet stop-ins if within close proximity to my house. I am willing to take care of dogs who prefer free play in a fenced in yard or those that prefer longer leash walks or park outings. I have no problem with free roam in the house or crating, whichever fits best with the dog’s regular routine. I have a big fenced in back yard and live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park 1 block away. I also have a good relationship with a local vet in case of emergencies.
“Erika was an excellent caretaker for our senior dog while we were out of the country. She was communicative and attentive to his needs, and it was clear when we returned that he had been comfortable and well looked after.”
“Emily was fantastic! She took the best care of Maya and Millie while we were on vacation. I told her upon meeting that I didn't need daily updates or photos, but to contact me if any issues came up. She gave perfect feedback, and I felt very confident that my dogs were having the best time on her expansive property. I would definitely book Emily again and I highly recommend her!”
“Iesha and her family were great! She took Brody on such a short notice. I appreciate the meet and greet with her dog Luca before making my decision. I was able to enjoy my time away! Thank you so much!”
“Marieliz and her family took great care of our dog! So many amazing photos and videos throughout his stay. They played with him a bunch and he clearly felt at home right away. Thank you so much!”
“I think Mack had more fun with Marne and her family than she does at our house! Mack was a recent family addition and this was her first time away from us (a two week stay). Marne sent daily updates and sent Mack home with Christmas gifts since she stayed over the holidays. I am so glad we found a place for our girl when we go out of town!”
“Casey was awesome with Coda! She had a great time hanging out and running around with her dog Jojo. She’s already been sleeping most of the day just from all the fun she had there.”
“Our dog loves staying with Nat and Ally! She has the best time running around with their dog and they take great care of her. Thrilled to book with them again and would/will do so again in a heartbeat!”
“Maria and Brian were incredible sitters for our dog Felix. They have a warm, inviting home and clearly care very much for the dogs they are watching. Our 6 month old shepherd mix has a ton of energy - he was clearly well exercised he came home so tired! We received regular updates and our dog was so happy to be there that he didn't want to leave! We will definitely be using them again and we highly recommend them for a loving home away from home for your pup. Thank you Maria, Brian (and kids!) for loving our dog as he were a part of your family!”
“Thank you Miranda for taking such great care of my corgi. The regular updates with photos were a great comfort knowing my 4 footed friend was safe and having a great time!”

“This is the second time Sophia has sat for my cat. We went away for a week and she smoothly navigated coming into our apartment, which is often difficult for people. I even texted her during our time away and requested that she helped give my cat his inhaler and she watched the video I sent and figured it out, giving him his inhaler daily. I am so grateful for Sophia! Thank you!”
“Kristy was on time and left thorough notes and photos to document her visit. She even got a photo of our very shy cat! She thought of every detail that I typically worry about while we're away, and her updates put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend!”
“We had a great experience! She stopped by twice to let our dogs out while we were away and was reliable, communicative, and very caring with them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Shelby was absolutely amazing. She always kept me completely up to date on what was going on with my pet and spent so much time with her and sent loads of pictures. She took so much care of my little girl. I would recommend her to anyone looking for anyone needing someone to look after their babies. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Ellie did a great job watching my 3 cats. She took the initiative to set up a meet and greet beforehand, and was very responsive, professional, and polite. When I returned from my weekend trip, it was clear that she had cleaned the litter box thoroughly each time she checked in. The cats were happy, healthy, and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her if you are in need of cat care.”
About: I grew up and lived with many cats over the years. I absolutely adore them. In high school I did some volunteering with cats at my hometown’s humane society. I just adopted an 8 month old cat named Delilah. She’s the sweetest! I love cats and enjoy giving them playtime and becoming their friend.
“Lily has been sweet and reliable in helping us care for our three cats while we were away. We've used her twice so far and will happily continue to do so as long as she is available ☺️”
“Maureen is very responsive and detail oriented. She took the time to provide an additional visit when one of my cats was being evasive to provide peace of mind while I was away.”
About: Lover of all fur babies! I had cats from a young age, I lived with and help care for two cats in college, and currently help care for several for friends who travel frequently for work. So years of experience..I guess you could say a life time. If you tell me their individual personalities, their favorite toys, and their favorite places to get pets; then I can promise you they’ll be loved in your absence and I can hope that its enough that they aren’t spiteful about you leaving when you return!
About: My family and friends have entrusted me to take care of their pets many times these last few years. The last 3 summers I have been lucky enough to do long-term stays with my friend's 4 dogs and cat to help build my experience with pets. Additionally, my family has 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks of our own, so I am no stranger to larger dogs! I am currently working part-time on the weekends so my week is normally pretty free. Since I am an incoming college student, I have some commitments throughout the summer, but have no problem talking about those with clients! I will treat your pets as if they were my own and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. I know it can be a stressful time for them while your gone, so I hope to be a calming presence where they can relax and have fun!
About: Cats deserve care that's calm, patient, and tailored to their individual needs. I take the time to earn each cat's trust and respect their unique personality, whether they love to play, enjoy quiet companionship, or prefer their own space. I'll make sure your cat stays on their normal routine by providing fresh food and water, keeping the litter box clean, giving plenty of attention, and following any special care instructions you leave. I understand how important consistency is for cats and will do everything I can to help them feel comfortable while you're away!!! You can count on regular updates, photos, and dependable care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your cat is in good hand!!₍₍⚞(˶ˆᗜˆ˵)⚟⁾⁾
“Sarah was fabulous! Our first time booking with Rover and with Sarah and the whole experience was amazing. She was great visiting and playing with our cats, and very professional. It gave us such a peace of mind to have her looking after our kitties. She takes great pictures too :). Would definitely book again. Thank you!”
About: 🐾 Cat Experience My journey with cats began with a shy tabby I adopted from an animal shelter in Darnestown. She was cautious, observant, and needed time to feel safe, and caring for her shaped the way I approach every cat I meet. She taught me that trust cannot be rushed, and that the best care comes from patience, gentleness, and learning each cat’s unique personality. Since then, my love for cats has only grown, one cat at a time, into a five-cat household. Living with five very different feline personalities has given me not only deep joy, but also hands-on experience in understanding what helps cats feel comfortable, secure, and truly cared for. As your cat’s butler, I focus on providing calm, attentive, detail-oriented care. I keep routines steady, feeding areas clean, water fresh, and litter boxes well maintained, whether that means traditional litter boxes, Breeze systems, or automatic litter robots. I’m also comfortable giving medication with care and patience. I pay close attention to behavior, energy, and small changes that may matter, and I always aim to leave your home neat, peaceful, and your cat feeling relaxed. You’ll receive thoughtful updates and photos along the way, so you can feel confident that your cat is in caring and capable hands.
“Lauren went above and beyond taking care of our cats! Our cats have 3 very different personalities and she did a great job making sure they were comfortable with her. She’s very thorough and left great report cards for us while we were away, I would definitely recommend Lauren for your pet care needs!”

“Ellen is great! She has a big heart and is an animal person through and through. We started out with a few boarding visits and now go to Ellen for day care every week. She’s very easy to work with and has a great location for dogs to run around/play/hike. Thanks Ellen!”
“Nova had a great time with Renee today. Renee was responsive, shared updates throughout the day, and made scheduling very easy. She was flexible and it truly felt like she treated Nova as her own. I will definitely use Renee and her husband again.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Sandra quickly responded and was able to welcome Handsome in her home in with only a day notice. When we got home, Handsome came in and slept the evening away, thanks to Sandra and her little guy playing and running with him. ❤️”
“My dog had a great time! Came home tired and exhausted, slept all night! I received status updates during the day that Made me feel super comfortable. Would definitely rip recommend!”
“Rene was so great with our dog. She was patient and answered all our questions. We provided her with instructions for feeding and training and she was so kind to follow them. We really appreciated her response on a very short notice. We look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“Marne, Bailey, and her family welcomed Leah last minute. Even though we both prefer meet and greets, they opened their doors to Leah for a full 10-hr daycare. They alsl addressed all my questions before booking, and before and after daycare. Loved, loved, loved the full communication between us about Leah's day and took great care of all Leah's need in a very structured manner. Based on the report card, leah had a blast with them. As a first time customer to them, I'm beyond happy to call them my first official dog sitters in their area, especially since I move all the time around the District of Columbia and the surrounding states. Thank you so much! We'll see you again!”
About: Hi, my name is Adrienne. My husband Nick and I live in a row home in downtown Frederick. I am an animal lover and will treat your pets like my own! I have been providing pet sitting services for friends and families for over 20 years. And for over 16 years, I raised dogs from puppy to adulthood. I volunteer at humane societies and have experience carrying for dogs with medical and special needs. No breed or size is off limits. I have a lot of experience with small dogs. I have used rover as a pet parent and strive to be the best sitter for you. I will provide daily updates via phone, text, or email depending on your preferences. I love sending photo updates of your pet doing fun things. We have a fenced yard for your pet to play in. I offer a complimentary meet and greet before your booking to become acquainted with you and your pets. This meet and greet is important to ensure I am the right fit for you and your pets. Im currently working part time so have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available throughout the day to check in and walk your pets and am available for boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet will have freedom throughout our row home and the fenced in yard. If they prefer their space, they will have a bedroom and floor all to themselves. If they like to make friends, we have one really friendly 7lb yorkshire terrier that would love to be their new friend. Our dog is crate trained and can be kept separated based on the client’s preference.
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I love animals, as they are the most loving and authentic little beings. I’ve always had dogs and have taken care of family/friends/neighbors’ dogs when needed. I offer boarding, walks, a fenced in yard and socialization with my children and my own pets. Your pup will be in good hands and loved! My household always has an adult home for walks or ability to go out in the yard at anytime. We pop in and out on sports practice days in the evenings and for games on the weekends. Never more than 2 hours at a time. I have a large fenced in yard, can crate your pup and can offer walks, the ability to sit or lay on furniture, socialization for my kids, and socialization for my dog and other pets
“Xiaoyi is so friendly and kind and considerate, she was very responsive and flexible, and took great care of my dog with lots of photos and videos. And she has a really nice home in a nice neighborhood in a Sage and convenient location. Definitely recommend her!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with Leo! She kept us updated and even did a little mini photoshoot with him. We will definitely use her again if we ever needed someone! Thank you so much for being so great with him.”
About: my goal is to provide the best pet, dog and cat sitting service. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding your cat or talking to your bird as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving details of caring for your cats, dogs, birds and even chickens! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one Asheville cat owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my cats as well as I do after a few short days.”
About: I've taken care of pet dogs for thenlast 15 plus years I owned 3 Rottweilers and competed them in the akc so I can take care of small or big dogs I currently work from home and am available all the time to take care of dogs and actually have the time to play and take care of the needs of the puppies or older dogs I have a fenced yard and are capable of taking great care of the pet I also would provide play time for them where they can play inside or outside
About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years. I'm experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and everything in between, including any dog size petite to massive! I can administer medicine as well. We have a home about 4 blocks from Baker Park in a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks, and we have a fully fenced in backyard as well. I work from home M-F 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. Occasionally I may step out for dinner with my wife or friends. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. My schedule is fairly flexible during working hours, so I can take our furry friend out for many breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
“Meeting Maureen was a joy. She was very thorough with gathering information about Attie -- things I never would have thought to ask/tell. You can tell how much she wants to make sure our sweet Attie is taken care of and right at home. Attie is shy, deaf and partially blind. She knows my son and I by shape and smell -- tends to stick with us. She felt comfortable enough to roam Maureen's yard and even came to her after a short period of time. I feel very confident and comfortable knowing Maureen is taking care of our baby. Already booking another stay. :)”
“Emily is a wonderful, intuitive care person for dogs. She has two dogs of her own and a couple of other dogs that board with her. I have a non-altered female and she cares for a non-altered male. I won't be back because of that, but no fault of Emily's.”
About: Whether caring for my own family’s pets, or being trusted to walk, feed, and play with neighbors animals I have been taking care of all kinds of critters my whole life. From rats and cats, to chameleons and Corgi’s I’ve not met an animal I couldn’t get along with. I’ve had the pleasure of building trusting relationships with the most cautious of furry friends, and I understand the extra care needed for sick and senior animals. Every animal deserves loving caretakers they can trust and I’d love to become a part of you and your baby’s care team. I work flexible hours online from home so I have plenty of time for play dates, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day! If overnight care is needed I prefer to start the night with your little one no later than their dinner time. Please reach out if you have any questions. The trust and safety of you and your little one is my top priority. I understand building trust takes time and I take great care in respecting the physical boundaries of any animal I get to take care of. I always stay alert to potential dangers while on walks or potty breaks, can comfortably assist animals into kennels if needed, and protect any animals in my care as if the were my own. I always take the utmost care to meet your individual animals needs and know their sensitivities in order to provide the best care possible.

About: I've been taking care of pets since elementary school, starting with helping neighbors. I have a natural affinity with all animals and am known for my patience in understanding and addressing their unique needs. I have my own dog, whom I've been caring for over the past nine years. Additionally, I've frequently looked after family members' dogs during their vacations or whenever they needed a sitter. My experience, combined with my genuine love for animals, ensures that every pet in my care receives the utmost attention and affection. I am currently available from 6 am until 11 pm for all your pets needs. I do have flexibility in my schedule so if anything needs to be discussed I am definitely open to that! In my home, pets enjoy a comfortable, clean, and supervised environment. I maintain a regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest to keep them happy and healthy. I have a secure backyard for safe outdoor play and regular walks to keep them active and stimulated. When caring for pets in my client's home, I adhere strictly to the provided care instructions and routines. I maintain open communication with the owners, providing regular updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are well taken care of. I am vigilant about home security, ensuring all doors and gates are properly closed and locked. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, building a bond of trust and ensuring every pet feels loved and secure in my care.
“Amazing! Grace was wonderful with Kobi and followed all of my specific instructions perfectly. I needed a sitter at the very last minute, and she responded to my message quickly and professionally. She took great care of Kobi, kept me updated, and gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was a teenager. In this house we have fur babies, not pets and we take getting our daily dose of fresh air seriously. Our home is a safe and fun place for your babies to play and relax just as they would in their home. Currently my schedule is very flexible; let me know your needs and I’ll do my absolute best to meet them! I care for my pets every day and have no problem ensuring yours are cared for too! I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood, have a fenced in back yard, and walking distance from a dog park. Tell me what works best for your dog (how many walks a day and when, any quirky habits, what works best for feeding) any thing that will help me care for your baby as I care for mine.
“Ava was absolutely fantastic! She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the very beginning, she was communicative, punctual, and made me feel completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond by making sure my dog got plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog walker. I'll definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ava, for taking such wonderful care of my pup!”
“Danielle is amazing!! She has been walking my two pups on a regular basis for a few months. She is always on time and so communicative in how my pups did on their walk. I can tell Danielle cares for them like they are her own. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi, I’m Eileen. I provide gentle, attentive care for small dogs, with a focus on safety, routine, and a calm home environment. My availability is primarily weekends, holidays, and selected weekday evenings, which allows me to give each dog steady, unhurried attention. I tailor care to each pup’s personality, whether that means relaxed walks, light play, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their routine familiar and reassuring. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep bowls and rest areas clean, and send thoughtful updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease. Because I have resident cats, I’m best suited for cat-savvy small dogs. I approach introductions slowly, supervise carefully, and can keep spaces separate when needed. My style is warm, detail-oriented, and intentionally limited in volume, so each dog receives the same thoughtful care I would want for my own pets. 🕰️ Schedule I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays, and I thoughtfully plan my pet care visits around that schedule to ensure each visit is calm, unhurried, and consistent. On weekdays, I offer evening drop-in visits, which tend to be a natural and comforting time for most cats, which is quiet, predictable, and aligned with their evening routines. On weekends and holidays, I’m available between 10am–5pm, with more flexibility to match your cat’s preferred schedule. At home, I care for my own five cats every day, so multi-cat routines, different personalities, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment are already part of my daily life. When I visit your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness—never rushed, always respectful of your cat’s pace and space. I also keep my bookings intentionally limited so each cat receives steady, thoughtful care. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, or medication, I make sure every visit feels consistent and reassuring for both you and your cat. My primary service is caring for cats in their own home, where many feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to doors, windows, lights, and entry routines. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat and home in someone else’s care, so I treat both with great respect and attention. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s personality and your preferences. Some cats want play and affection, while others prefer quiet company and space. I pay close attention to food, water, litter box habits, and any small changes in behavior. After every visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos, videos, and a clear report, so you can feel informed and at ease while you’re away. If I ever care for a cat in my home, I would focus on slow introductions, separated food, close monitoring, and a calm, clean environment. My five resident cats are all up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and I always respect each cat’s pace and comfort level.
About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know every dog and cat has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and comfort level to help them feel safe and happy while you're away(๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝* I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week!! I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give every pet the attention, love, and care they deserve while their owners are away!! (,; ⩌ ;,) Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow your routine and care instructions closely to help them feel secure and comfortable. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of love and attention٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡
“Lauren was a pleasure to work with and having her help was greatly appreciated and our pups enjoyed her visiting ! She's very responsive and takes in feedback very well! I would recommend her to others.”
“David is really great! My parents are really protective over their dogs and David had compassion and jumped right in. One of their dogs is a puppy mill rescue and at times skittish. He is kind, accommodating and understanding. 10/10 recommend.”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi there! I’m Kiara — a lifelong animal lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From tiny, timid pups to big, energetic adventurers, I’ve learned that every dog has their own unique way of showing love — and I adore getting to know each one. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through professional services, friends, and families, providing everything from daily walks and cuddle time to medication administration and overnight stays. My priority is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. 🐶 What You Can Expect • Reliable, communicative, and attentive care • Plenty of photo updates so you can relax while you’re away • A calm, loving environment with playtime, snuggles, and routine care • Experience with senior dogs and pets who need medication Whether your pup loves a long walk, a cozy nap, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to give them the same love and attention I’d want for my own fur babies. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member! 💕 I’m currently focusing on school, because of that I have a very flexible schedule which gives me a bit of extra time to take care of your pets weather is at your home or overnight at mines. I always ask the pet owners what is their daily routine with their fur babies and I will of course continue on with that same daily routine in my own home. I have a small dog and cat who love to cuddle and play! Your fur babies won’t be bored one bit!
About: I’ve mainly taken care of my own, and close family cats and dogs, but in the recent year or two I’ve helped my friend who uses rover walk dogs. I currently have full availability, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings, recurring schedules, weekends, holidays, and extended stays. I'm flexible, dependable, and committed to providing reliable, attentive care whenever your pet needs me. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and maintain a calm, secure environment. My sister has a cat who is not comfortable around unfamiliar cats, so I am unable to host cats in my home. However, I am happy to provide care for dogs or care for cats in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I will always follow your pet's routine, provide regular updates, and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own.
“She was absolutely amazing! We truly loved working with her. She sent us so many photos of our dog and was always on time! I definitely recommend hiring her. You won’t regret it :)”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, as well as a few cats, for years in a more casual setting. I usually sit for friends, family friends, and neighbors, usually through check-ins, and only a few times with boarding in my own home. I have two dogs of my own, ages 5 and 9mo who were both raised from puppies, so I have basic puppy training and grooming skills. I also have experience with dogs who need regular medication or who have specialized/specific diets. I am open to caring for any pets except birds, special needs/sensitive reptiles, and insects. I am currently a student at Penn State and I am looking for summer job in my hometown. I would most likely be free at almost any time during the week and would be open to over night stays as well with prior notice. I would be open to set a meeting with you and your pet before house sitting or check-in dates to discuss schedules and specifics as well as to meet your pet. I am currently unable to sit at my own house. My contact info will be provided and I will be available for call at all points during my care for your pet.
About: Hello - my name is Kristy and I have over 20+ years of experience with dogs. I’ve cared for a beagle for 13 years and I currently have a puggle named Zoe who is 12 years old and Lily, a 1 year old Cavapoo. I live in a family friendly community with a large fenced backyard, a park and walking trails right around the corner. Great for those dog walks! I have an 8 and 12 year old at home, so your fur baby will be entertained around the clock. I have a love for dogs and I will make sure your pet is comfortable in my home and treated as if they are my own. Your pet is free to roam the house as well as the backyard to play. I currently have a flexible work schedule during the week. I like to have our visitors get as much fresh air as possible if the weather is nice. That includes sun bathing on the patio or walks around our neighborhood park and trails. ***Please be respectful with agreed upon drop off and pick up times*** I have a fully fenced yard to wander around, a friendly “older” dog, a friendly, playful pup, and two kids to keep your fur baby entertained. I can easily crate your dog if needed per your permission. I also have a camera set up to check in on if I am out running errands.
About: My family and friends have entrusted me to take care of their pets many times these last few years. The last 3 summers I have been lucky enough to do long-term stays with my friend's 4 dogs and cat to help build my experience with pets. Additionally, my family has 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks of our own, so I am no stranger to larger dogs! I am currently working part-time on the weekends so my week is normally pretty free. Since I am an incoming college student, I have some commitments throughout the summer, but have no problem talking about those with clients! I will treat your pets as if they were my own and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. I know it can be a stressful time for them while your gone, so I hope to be a calming presence where they can relax and have fun!
“Nancy is fantastic. She takes my dog for a walk multiple times a week. She's very reliable and gives me feedback on my pet after each walk. She's on time and keeps my mind at ease to focus on work when I'm at work. Nancy and my dog really seem to enjoy their time together each day. I would definitely recommend Nancy to anyone needing a kind and responsible person to care for their pet.”
“Thank you so much Avril for taking me on at such a short notice Tara love it and I did to. I'd recommend you to my friends and family. I'm sure I'll be using your services very soon.”

“My pup Topaz had the best time with Ellen. Ellen took time with Topaz and made it fun for her. Since Topaz is a senior dog, she is very sensitive to her environment, and she fit in with the other dogs as well. I will be bringing her back on a regular basis now!”
“Tyson was well taken care of while we were on vacation for a week. Renee sent me photos everyday showing how spoiled he was getting! He had an amazing time and was exhausted after I picked him up. Thank you!”
“Terri was the epitome of perfect. She was just what my pet Blossom needed. Attention, affection, love, she filled all of those things, and then some. She took many pictures kept us up-to-date, and eased my anxiety!!! I would use her again and again and again, top-notch for sure!!!”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“Sandra took amazing care of our dog while we were on vacation! He had a wonderful time playing and interacting with the other dogs (as proven by all the awesome pictures we were sent detailing his stay). We couldn’t be happier with the service Sandra provided. Great communication, very responsive, and kind. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I recently lost my 14-year old bulldog and I am looking to reconnect with dogs before committing to another long term companion. I have experience with senior dog care, to include dogs with cancer and dementia. I work full-time from home. During the day, I would be able to offer 2 15 -minute bathroom visits/walks during my breaks from work. I also have flexibility when other needs arise. In the evenings, I am free to give your dog as much love and attention as they desire. I only accept 1 dog at a time (unless multiple dogs are from the same owner and the dogs are pair bonded). I was single handedly responsible for my own dog for 11 years before she died of old age, so I know what it takes to compassionately care for a dog. I have also watched my friends’ dogs and my parent’s dog for weeks at a time. Taking care of dogs is not a new experience for me. I work from home and have complete control over the flexibility of my schedule. I can take breaks from my work to attend to your dogs needs 2 times per day during my 15-minute breaks. I am free evenings. I can also use my breaks to give walks/pet stop-ins if within close proximity to my house. I am willing to take care of dogs who prefer free play in a fenced in yard or those that prefer longer leash walks or park outings. I have no problem with free roam in the house or crating, whichever fits best with the dog’s regular routine. I have a big fenced in back yard and live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park 1 block away. I also have a good relationship with a local vet in case of emergencies.
“Emily was fantastic! She took the best care of Maya and Millie while we were on vacation. I told her upon meeting that I didn't need daily updates or photos, but to contact me if any issues came up. She gave perfect feedback, and I felt very confident that my dogs were having the best time on her expansive property. I would definitely book Emily again and I highly recommend her!”
“Marieliz and her family took great care of our dog! So many amazing photos and videos throughout his stay. They played with him a bunch and he clearly felt at home right away. Thank you so much!”
“I think Mack had more fun with Marne and her family than she does at our house! Mack was a recent family addition and this was her first time away from us (a two week stay). Marne sent daily updates and sent Mack home with Christmas gifts since she stayed over the holidays. I am so glad we found a place for our girl when we go out of town!”
“Casey was awesome with Coda! She had a great time hanging out and running around with her dog Jojo. She’s already been sleeping most of the day just from all the fun she had there.”
“Our dog loves staying with Nat and Ally! She has the best time running around with their dog and they take great care of her. Thrilled to book with them again and would/will do so again in a heartbeat!”
“Maria and Brian were incredible sitters for our dog Felix. They have a warm, inviting home and clearly care very much for the dogs they are watching. Our 6 month old shepherd mix has a ton of energy - he was clearly well exercised he came home so tired! We received regular updates and our dog was so happy to be there that he didn't want to leave! We will definitely be using them again and we highly recommend them for a loving home away from home for your pup. Thank you Maria, Brian (and kids!) for loving our dog as he were a part of your family!”
“Thank you Miranda for taking such great care of my corgi. The regular updates with photos were a great comfort knowing my 4 footed friend was safe and having a great time!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for many years and currently have two senior dogs of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency pets need to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and the extra care that comes with older dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and household rules. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their boundaries, especially with senior, shy, or anxious pets. When staying in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates so owners can feel comfortable while they’re away.
“The dogs had a wonderful time with Kacy. Kacy sent videos and pics of our puppies keeping us up to date the entire time. Communication is great and her and her husband are super nice. Will def. come back :):)”
“Dorian did a great job taking care of my fur baby. My dog is an older dachshund who is still energetic so I worry about him with sitters, but Dorian put my mind at ease by communicating with me well. From what I was told Obi had a great time playing with kids and taking lots of breaks that may or may not have included some mud baths lol. Thank you Dorian.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for years. I previously worked at a veterinary hospital, where I cared for pets in a kennel setting and assisted with appointments, giving me experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and also currently furthering my vet med education. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am a stay at home (expecting) mom, and my schooling is also done at home. You can rest assured knowing that your fur baby will get constant attention and affection I have ample house space and yard space for your fur baby. I also make walks apart of my daily habit so you can rest assured knowing your baby will get all the exercise they could dream of
“Nancy was so great & took such good care of our dog, Buddy. She took him for several walks/gave him plenty of exercise, gave cuddles, and updated us often of how everything was going. Her communication made our time away less stressful because we didn’t have to worry about how Buddy was doing. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy & caring person to look after their dog.”
“I can’t tell you how amazing Linda is. She has so much love and compassion for the animals she watches. Tons of updates and pictures during the stay. She even went above and beyond to make a trip to our veterinarian to pick up meds for our dog. I highly recommend her services”
“Jennifer is 100% a dog person! Very warm yet very professional. We didn’t a meet and greet and she had a checklist ready to go over everything. She has spare bowls and toys. She took great care of my Odie! Even though she has a fenced in yard she still took him for walks. I got lots of pictures during his stay. Odie did have an incident and Jennifer handled my pup with the utmost care and was very friendly and professional while we worked it out. Even if Odie’s not welcome back I would still 100% recommends her. Anyone can do a job when everything goes right. It takes someone special to handle when things go wrong. 10/10!”
