Betsy has also been very responsive to any texts or requests that I have sent to her. We have arranged for Maggie to have a sleep-over in July!”
“Absolutely wonderful pet care! Tanya and David were extremely accommodating to our two large dogs (rottweiler, belgian malinois). They have specialized diets that werent an issue and we received updates throughout our entire trip. You could tell they really care about your fur buddy just as much as you do. Definitely will be rebooking in the future.”
“Kaylee was awesome to work with, from the time we 1st contacted her for a meet and greet with her dog and ours, to the day we picked her up. Communication was great, letting us know how our girl was doing and pictures daily +. We will definitely use again if/when the need arises. Thank you Kaylee for loving on Zoey like she was your own. ❤️”
“Max a wonderful time with Charissa, Shawn and family! Not only did they go above and beyond for my pup Max, but they also made sure to reassure me that he was well and happy so I could focus on my family trip. They were patient and helpful with planning, respectful of my wishes as a pet owner, and consistent and accommodating with my schedule. Max has new favorite pet sitters! Thanks so much all!”
“Michael went above and beyond taking care of our dog when we were away on vacation. He got sick the night before we dropped him off. We told Michael about it when we arrived and he was more than willing to take care of him. Turns out that our dog had a what appeared to be a partial blockage. Michael without hesitation was willing to take him to our vet to be diagnosed. He then faithfully gave him his medication all while communicating everything with us. We are more than grateful. Thank you Michael!”
“Donna is such a lovely and kind person and took excellent care of our dog. He is shy, timid and cautiously friendly but it didn’t take him too long at all to start trusting her and getting comfortable! Donna kept us updated with texts and photos throughout his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Katrina was very kind and kept me informed thru texts and photos. She also took good care of Murphy and continued with his ear care regimen. Murphy seemed to enjoy playing with Katrina’s kids too!”
“Was given updates even though the stay was short. Plenty of space and friendly dogs for bingo to play with. The most relaxed I’ve seen my dog! Thank you”
“Absolutely amazing! We had such a great experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. She was so sweet, reliable, communicative, and treated our pups like they were her own. 🥹🐾 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were safe, happy, and well taken care of while we were away. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies!”
“Angelita provided the undivided, fulltime attention that Ian (and most labs) expect and sometimes demand! She was prompt with responses to my questions, followed the instructions to comply with Ian's schedule and gave Ian all the affection that he's accustomed to. I'm pretty sure that he would have enjoyed staying with Angelita a little longer. We're looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“Dolly must have had a wonderful time with Beth and the family. I'm not even so sure she's glad to be home. Lol. We will definitely reach out to Beth next time we need Dolly to go in vacation.”
“Rebecca was kind, friendly, responsive, and very attentive. She made me feel completely at ease and took great care of Lucky. She also kindly accommodated a last minute request to watch Lucky again the following day. Thank you Rebecca!”

“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”
“Arthur spent 1 night with Heather and Spencer in advance of an extended vacation stay with them. Lots of updates were provided with pictures. Arthur seemed very happy to see us and although I'm struggling to leave him with anyone, I think he'll be OK with Heather and Spencer during our longer trip. He looks forward to coming back and playing with his dog friends.”

“Dina was wonderful and gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She came once a day to check on my cat, cleaned the litter box, made sure he had food and water, and spent quality time playing with him. It was obvious she genuinely cared and wasn’t just stopping in quickly. My cat clearly loved the attention and interaction. Being able to leave him comfortably at home instead of boarding him was a huge stress reliever. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly book with her again.”
“Erin did an amazing job caring for our kitten. She was attentive, friendly, and kind. She provided excellent care for our little kitty and even went out of her way to take care of her. We would highly recommend Erin for anyone else and would happily ask her to help support our kitten in the future if needed.”
“Kyleigh was an AMAZING sitter to our kitten while we were away for the week. She went above and beyond during the stays and made me feel so comfortable leaving him for the first time since we’ve adopted him! She sent constant photos, videos, and updates and was great at entertaining his high-energy self :) I highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking her anytime I need a sitter in the future!!”
About: In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've also cared for cats for friends and family. I'm comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving each cat the patience and space they need to feel comfortable.
“Carissa was so mindful and caring with my kitties, and was so gentle with giving my 20yo kitty her meds. She even took out my trash when I forgot, and sent lots of pictures every day I was away. Absolutely will be booking again, thank you so much!! 💙”
“We are so happy with the care Amanda gave Zuess! Very prompt, attentive, and met all his needs! We will def. Be requesting her again! It really means everything when you can trust the person coming to your home and caring for your pet when your away.”
“Kathy did a wonderful job not only caring for my cats as if they were her own, but her communication with me was above and beyond. I felt very secure that my cats were well taken care of during our vacation and she made a sincere effort to befriend and nuture our pets when we couldn’t be there. I would highly recommend and will be booking Kathy again on our next trip!”
“Caroline was the best and would recommend her to anyone. She came to meet Sarge prior to me leaving and they became best friends. Caroline was very attentive to Sarge and his needs, and also left very detailed feedback on his walks. I hope she has availability in the future, for when I have to go out of town, I know he is is good hands.”
“Alexandria was a great addition to our cat sitter roster. My usual sitters weren't available and she was able to pick up the gig quickly. She is very attentive to our cats and paid attention to their personalities. Her updates were very thorough. I felt like our cats were themselves when we returned home. I will hire her when she is available in the future.”
“Michael jumped on board for a same day request on a holiday weekend to drop in at our home to feed our two high energy Boston's. He took them out for a potty break and a fun run and fetch game. Communication and availability was exactly what we needed. Next time we need a fur kid sitter, we won’t hesitate to contact Michael.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.
“Rachel was fantastic. Entirely reliable. She sent tons of pictures of Callie while we were gone and completely followed through on all of our discussed arrangements. I highly recommend and will happily and gratefully call on her kindness and care again in the future.”
About: I’ve had experience caring for cats both personally and through pet sitting for others. I used to have a cat of my own and have watched family, friends, and neighbors’ cats many times over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, litter box care, and making cats feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life. I had 2 golden retrievers as a child and have had 3 cats throughout my life. My rescue cat Frisky was with me for 23 years! I have informally done dog sitting and cat sitting for most of my life. I have pet sat animals with all types of temperaments. I believe there are no bad dogs or cats. I love to train animals for fun but I don’t have any formal education. I am a Nurse by trade and I have learned in the healthcare setting how healing both dogs and cats can be. I work a normal 9-5 Monday- Friday job but I am happy to stop by after work to watch, feed, and spend time with animals and am especially interested in pet sitting on the weekends! I want to know ahead of time about your pet. What is their temperament like? Are they okay with new people? Are they treat motivated? What is their typical routine? Things like that. I want your pet to feel the most comfortable they can with their owners not being there. If your pet loves snuggles, I am more than happy to oblige. If they like walks or toys, I’m your girl! Whatever it is, I want to know what you feel is best for your pet!

“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“Charissa was amazing with our last minute planning and willing to babysit our fur baby. Our pup loves attention and affection from anyone and everyone but he felt completely at home within her home and that’s the best feeling when you know your pet is doing well. 10 out of 10. Would recommend.”
“Heather is an amazing sitter ! Lola loves staying at her house and playing with her little dogs. She keeps me updated with pictures and videos during the day, which makes me very happy! Thank you Heather !”
About: I have been working at a Pet Resort for over a 2 years. I work at Neffsville Veterinary Clinic. I have two dogs of my own. I enjoy caring for dogs and playing with them and or just relaxing with them. I am currently working part-time. 2-4 days a week 6 hour shifts. Meaning more time with pets. I will be having a baby in February! So cat litter is something I cannot handle at this time. When I am there I will take them out as much as they would like. I will feed them the exact time you normally do. I will sleep with them so they know they are not alone. I will take them on daily walks. Or I will do what you are most comfortable with closest to your routine.
“I was hesitant with Rover at first, being new to the area and not knowing what to expect with doggy daycare in someone’s home. Mai is GREAT! Love the communication, photos and videos that I’ve received so far. Feeling a lot better about using Rover!”
“We had a great experience with Gwendoline! Our 6 month old pit mix was nervous around the other dogs at first so Gwendoline did slow intros to make her feel comfortable. She was running around with all the dogs and making friends within the first hour! We will definitely be bringing her back soon!”
“Loved having Diane as a sitter. Sophie loved her and so did we. She’s high energy and Duane saw she had lots of walks and activity. You’d never be disappointed with Diane. Thanks so much for loving on our girl for the day. Thx for the umbrella too♥️”
About: I've taken care of and have had pets for forty years, and would love to care for yours as well. I grew up raising Labador Retrievers, and have owned cats over the years as well. I've also had the pleasure of caring for and boarding friends' & families' pets, and having them in my home always brings me so much joy!!! We currently don't have any pets so yours will get all the attention! I am currently a stay at home mom who homeschools my teens. I have flexibility in my schedule most days of the week, and would love to care for your pets in my home, or in your home. I offer dog walking and visits to your home, and will take your pet(s) into my home as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking, and I will accomodate your pet's exercise needs.
“Wonderful experience. Lucy has found her new home away from home. Bentley is also to be admired. He was waiting at the front door to welcome Lucy into his territory in a most friendly, " I Love You Lucy" manner.”
About: I have a very friendly mini labradoodle who LOVES visitors and one cat who is also very comfortable with dogs visiting my home (he’s also very happy to stay independently in other areas of the home if needed). I have three young children who live with me 50% of the time, who are also very high energy and love running around with dogs. Since I work from home full time, I’m able to walk dogs multiple times during the day and don’t have to crate during the day. Large three floor home, small yard, very close to multiple open outdoor spaces for dogs to run. I work from home full-time, so have lots of flexibility to care for pets! No need to crate daily, and can offer multiple daily walks. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I have a lead for those who want to stay outside for a bit and several leashes for short bathroom breaks. I also live very close to several outdoor spaces for dogs (ie parks).

“Maria did a great job! The boys were walked, they seemed very comfortable with Marie, and she sent pictures. I am very thankful for this service, everything worked out perfectly. This is the first time I tried Rover, I will definitely use it in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs in one way or another for most of my life. I have had a pet, either a dog, cat, hamster or a horse all of my life. A couple of years ago I started sitting for friends pets and the last six months of last year I worked for a couple who ran a pet sitting business. I did dog walking, cat feeding and care, and some overnight visits. I am not an expert trainer but I went through all the puppy classes with my border collie and spent a couple of years training for agility. I am semi retired so I have a very flexible schedule. I work at home on my online business. I can easily accommodate pet sitting visits round my schedule. I am very cautious when taking care of other peoples pets because I know how important they are to their families. My own dog is a treasured part of our family.

Weather permitting, they’ll enjoy supervised playtime in our fenced in yard. We give plenty of attention, belly rubs and companionship so your pup feels safe.

And of course you’ll get plenty of adorable photo updates along the way. I try to be as flexible as possible. I know most of these kiddos thrive off of routine. I know our pets deserve lots of attention, time, love and excellent care! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I will follow all routines closely.

I respect your home and your pet’s habits and will treat both with the same care and responsibility I’d expect for my own.
About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and have loved animals my whole life. I currently have a 3-year-old pitbull, 2-year-old rat, and a 7-year-old horse, and I’ve been riding horses for as long as I can remember.

“Rachel came to our home today to meet Orla and enjoy some time walking around our retirement community and nature trails. At the end of the walk we returned to our home and chatted briefly before Rachel got into her car. Orla and I walked to the house when she suddenly turned around looking for Rachel. Orla raced back to the car for a last good-bye cuddle and kisses after jumping into Rachel's arms. By that simple action Rachel captured our hearts and certainly Orla's!”
About: As an experienced dog foster, I have cared for more than 25 dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, representing a wide variety of breeds and sizes. In addition, I was the proud owner of four dogs who each lived long, happy lives and reached their senior years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the important role pets play as beloved members of the family. I am a school teacher, and with school now in session, my available has shifted. I am available each day starting approximately at 3:30 and can do early morning prior to school. I would love the opportunity to support families who need a safe, loving temporary home for their four-legged companions. Whether your pet needs overnight care, companionship during the day, or some extra exercise and attention, I am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own dogs. As a teacher, I am currently on summer break, so I have availability daily throughout the week for play sessions and dog walks. I am also available for multi-night lodging. When you’re here, you’re family. Any animal under my care will be treated as one of my own. But with me, you get a whole family who are all trained in caring for dogs and cats, as each member of the household has been involved with fostering pups and raising kitties. The second floor of the house is separated by a door at the top of the stairs to allow separation between feline and canine friends if needed. Daily photos and FaceTime are available. We have multiple-sized dog crates if crating is requested. Although we may be new faces to your four legged companions, we will try to keep consistency in the rules you have at your home. If they are allowed on your couch, then they will be here. Feeding schedule will be dictated by how they ate at home. Walks will be frequent and there is a huge box of dog toys and cat toys to keep them entertained.

In the summer, I am available full-time to care for pets. Beginning in the fall, I am a teacher so I am available for pet care after 4pm. I am comfortable visiting your home and caring for your pets in their most comfortable environment, their own home! I am able to bring your pets for walks, let them outside, crate them, or snuggle on the couch! Whatever you and they are comfortable with.

“Absolutely wonderful pet care! Tanya and David were extremely accommodating to our two large dogs (rottweiler, belgian malinois). They have specialized diets that werent an issue and we received updates throughout our entire trip. You could tell they really care about your fur buddy just as much as you do. Definitely will be rebooking in the future.”
“Kaylee was awesome to work with, from the time we 1st contacted her for a meet and greet with her dog and ours, to the day we picked her up. Communication was great, letting us know how our girl was doing and pictures daily +. We will definitely use again if/when the need arises. Thank you Kaylee for loving on Zoey like she was your own. ❤️”
“Max a wonderful time with Charissa, Shawn and family! Not only did they go above and beyond for my pup Max, but they also made sure to reassure me that he was well and happy so I could focus on my family trip. They were patient and helpful with planning, respectful of my wishes as a pet owner, and consistent and accommodating with my schedule. Max has new favorite pet sitters! Thanks so much all!”
“Michael went above and beyond taking care of our dog when we were away on vacation. He got sick the night before we dropped him off. We told Michael about it when we arrived and he was more than willing to take care of him. Turns out that our dog had a what appeared to be a partial blockage. Michael without hesitation was willing to take him to our vet to be diagnosed. He then faithfully gave him his medication all while communicating everything with us. We are more than grateful. Thank you Michael!”
“Donna is such a lovely and kind person and took excellent care of our dog. He is shy, timid and cautiously friendly but it didn’t take him too long at all to start trusting her and getting comfortable! Donna kept us updated with texts and photos throughout his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Was given updates even though the stay was short. Plenty of space and friendly dogs for bingo to play with. The most relaxed I’ve seen my dog! Thank you”
“Absolutely amazing! We had such a great experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. She was so sweet, reliable, communicative, and treated our pups like they were her own. 🥹🐾 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were safe, happy, and well taken care of while we were away. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies!”
“Angelita provided the undivided, fulltime attention that Ian (and most labs) expect and sometimes demand! She was prompt with responses to my questions, followed the instructions to comply with Ian's schedule and gave Ian all the affection that he's accustomed to. I'm pretty sure that he would have enjoyed staying with Angelita a little longer. We're looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“Dolly must have had a wonderful time with Beth and the family. I'm not even so sure she's glad to be home. Lol. We will definitely reach out to Beth next time we need Dolly to go in vacation.”
“Rebecca was kind, friendly, responsive, and very attentive. She made me feel completely at ease and took great care of Lucky. She also kindly accommodated a last minute request to watch Lucky again the following day. Thank you Rebecca!”
“Jordan is fantastic. Highly communicative & responsive with a great demeanor. Her home is perfect for dogs who love to play and run— she has a clear love of and way with pups. Highly recommend.”
“Emma was absolutely phenomenal, flexible and took the best care of my pups. They had a great time with her dogs and i could tell they had a great time. Would love for her to watch my pups again. She even made them home made goodies! And send a bunch of updates. Im grateful for her”
“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”
“Arthur spent 1 night with Heather and Spencer in advance of an extended vacation stay with them. Lots of updates were provided with pictures. Arthur seemed very happy to see us and although I'm struggling to leave him with anyone, I think he'll be OK with Heather and Spencer during our longer trip. He looks forward to coming back and playing with his dog friends.”
“Cynthia was wonderful with our dog Finn, and this was our first time using a sitter. Finn is very shy around new people, so we weren't sure how he'd do, but he settled in at her place and seemed comfortable the whole time. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, with updates that put us at ease while we were away. Everything went smoothly and we had no issues at all. We'd happily book Cynthia again and recommend her to anyone whose dog needs a little extra patience.”
