“Meghan and her family took such great care of our pups. She checked in often and reassured me they were doing great. They came home happy! Would definitely recommend Meghan to take care of your pets.”
“This was a wonderful experience for our mini doodle, Rosy! Perfect, quiet setting and lots of opportunity to safely play outside. Faith and her husband are very accommodating and we couldn’t have asked for better care for our pup. We definitely recommend!!”
“Amber is amazing! Very attentive and her professional and personal (has pets too) advice and care makes such a difference. So flexible! I needed her last minute and my dog Chadley felt so loved and cared for! I will be hiring her again and again. Chadley adored the time spent!”
“We are so grateful to have found Brian to care for our two very special dogs, both of whom come with their own quirks and sensitivities. Our sweet and playful pup, Abbi, gets anxious in new environments, while our 13-year-old, Hank, is mostly sweet and playful but can also be a bit reactive when startled, especially by fast movements or unfamiliar people. Brian was incredible with both of them. Hank warmed up to him almost immediately (something that rarely happens) and seeing him snuggling his head into Brian's hand during one of the daily video updates was a highlight for us. Brian’s calm, confident presence clearly helped both of our dogs feel safe and happy. They had plenty of space to explore, lots of outdoor playtime, and were cared for with patience and attentiveness. In addition to putting our dogs at ease, he also managed to put my husband-who tends to be quite anxious about leaving them-at ease, as well. The daily video updates, thoughtful care, and dog-friendly environment made all the difference.”
“Heather was amazing with Mika over the long weekend! She was super accommodating, very responsive, and kept us updated with daily pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mika was in such great hands. We really appreciated how caring and attentive she was. We would absolutely book with Heather again and highly recommend her!”
“Mar is great to Molly. Even when a family emergency came up and I had to extend the visit unexpectedly, Mar was super helpful and accommodating. Molly gets excited when we pull up to the house, so I know she is in good hands and has a great time when she's there.”
“Amanda is WONDERFUL! I am always cautious about leaving Rex with anyone but I had no concerns at all. She treated him like one of her own babies and he really enjoyed himself. I will always use her for his birding needs. She is his new "GRAMMY"”
About: I've had pets all my life cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, Bunnies, and taken car of horses. I love animals and am not afraid of their messes. During the summer I have plenty of time to take care of pets though during the school year certain times of day I won't be available due to classes. I've learned to come at pets with the caution they need. I'm very friendly and always want to be sweet to pets but I can be tough if the situation calls for it to not let animals walk all over me. I love animals and like taking the time for their needs.
“Jody was extremely pleasant to work with. She was friendly immediately upon meeting her and interacted with our dogs like they were her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have loved and cared for 10 of my own fur friends(6 dogs, 4 cats) and been so lucky to love and care for many many more. From farm to house to tank to pen I have cared for pretty much everything except insects and arachnids. I've spent nights with road side rescues that became beloved family members, I've taken my bottle feeding resuce squirrel camping in a shoe box in my sleeping bag, I've fed horses and chickens in a blizzard. I've gently loved the old ones that are hanging on just a little bit longer and I've welcomed the brand new ones to this great big world. I am currently working part-time and have the flexibility to work around your schedule. Overnights and holidays are available with at home and boarding options. Lots of walks! I do have one friendly dog and a cat in my home with the ability to keep everyone separate if needed. Crating is also an option. Lots of love and attention. Your home or mine.
“I live in VA but was traveling to PA to go snowboarding on a last minute trip. None of my regular sitters were available so I decided to look in PA. Kristina and Mark were great! Thor had such a great time with their 3 German Shepherds. I was really impressed with how they handled the meet and greet. Kristina brought each dog out one at a time to meet Thor. Then they all came out together and made Thor feel right at home. Kristina sent pictures and videos, and Thor was always smiling! I snowboard a lot in PA, so I'll definitely be requesting them to watch Thor again.”
“Luther and Buster had a great stay! They were both tired out from the visit and went right to sleep when they made it into the car. Thanks again Kristin, wish you were closer to use here so we could work with you more often.”

About: Many years ago I used to take care of my neighbors' golden retriever. This led to dog-sitting at my house, house-sitting, cat-sitting, plenty of dog walking, as well as some hiking with dogs. Even now, golden retrievers are one of my favorite breeds. Whenever I have a Rover booking I try to spend as much time with the dog as possible. For short stays (1-4 days) I usually don't have to leave the dog home alone at all. For longer stays I try to minimize time away and when I am out it's typically very brief - running a couple of errands, grocery store, etc. My house has a large, well maintained yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and "do their business". My yard isn't fenced, so I'll keep dogs on a leash at all times when outside. If your dog likes hiking I'm an avid hiker and have found that hiking always goes better with dogs!
“Breanna was very kind with all of the fur babies! So sweet! All the pets really warmed up to her! Giving them some outdoor time for them to relax and enjoy! We kept clear, constant communication. Answered any questions and concerns! Just really appreciated her patience with me as well! We are really grateful for her!”

About: I have had all different animals all my life. I grew up working on a family farm, so I have experience with all different animal species. We currently live in Berlin with our 4 children, Great Dane Bella, and a mixture of farm animals. I attended PSU studying animal science, minoring in equine science. I am excited to meet your furry family members! I currently am a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible! I am available for visits, drop ins, walks, day sitting in my home, and overnight boarding. I have a fenced in yard connected to my house, with locks on the gates. I also have an outdoor dog kennel and dog house if you have a dog that stays outdoors. In the home we have an older Great Dane, but she likes to keep to herself and is a certified couch potato. We have several gates up in our house to keep pets safely separated. I welcome dog crates if you have them, or I do have a few I could use here if that is easier. We have a large property where we can take walks, or we even live close to a bike trail we can walk at. I have done drop in visits for puppies and dogs in the past, and have had great feedback. I can stay for a length of time and let your pets get some exercise and play. I am open to tending farm animals as well while you’re away.
“Brian was super generous to accept us last minute. All interactions were positive. Brian was out on training but offered his spouse Erika (also here on Rover) to look after our dog Stella. Erika was amazing! She met us when we pulled up and greeted us. She is warm, kind and welcoming. Brian and Erika’s property is incredible. They have fenced in areas for runs and agility. Stella had the time of her life and I would return without hesitation. My only regret is we don’t live closer so we can come back my often. It was a great experience.”
“Thank you, Faith! Maybellene had such a great time and I knew she was in great hands while I was visiting family in the area. She was very responsive and flexible, and her home is a welcoming place for your pup. Looking forward to next time!”
“Both of our beagles seemed very comfortable with Allie and her husband right away. Allie sent us pictures and updates showing they were happy and well taken care of. She was flexible and receptive to changing the booking times for drop off and pick up when our plans changed. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Kristina and Mark took care of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel while we visited a local attraction. We had excellent communication during the booking process and while he was in their day care. They were very nice to keep us up to date and sent us photos. Overall, they provided a great experience. We highly recommend them!”
“Beth and her husband are great. I had never left my dog alone so needless to say I was very cautious. Beth takes care of a few dogs, all under 40 lbs. my honey is only 20lb so I like the max. Day care is held in her home which I prefer. And all dogs have access to the whole house and enclosed back yard. Beth also sent me regular photographs by phone of course, to ease my anxiety. I have booked two days a week with Beth because I know my baby is in good hands!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She took care of Vincent as if he were her own, with so much love, patience and responsibility. From the very first moment, her sweetness and professionalism gave us total peace of mind. Vincent felt safe, content and spoiled — y eso para nosotros lo es todo. We received updates, photos and messages throughout the day, always con cariño and attention to every detail. It truly felt like leaving our baby with family. Her service is exceptional, her energy is beautiful, and her dedication shows in everything she does. We are so grateful and will choose her again and again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommended. She’s truly the best! 💕🐶✨”

About: Hi there! I’m so excited to be back on Rover after a little break—and even more excited to meet your furry family members 🐾 I bring over 20 years of hands-on pet sitting experience, caring for animals of all kinds, personalities, and needs. From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care tailored to each pet. I also have experience with animals who have disabilities or require a little extra patience and support, and I’m confident managing households with multiple pets—keeping everyone happy, safe, and on their routine. I was a Rover sitter for 5 years previously, and I’m thrilled to return doing what I genuinely love. You can count on me for dependable care, clear communication, and lots of affection for your pets while you’re away. I treat every animal like they’re my own—because they deserve nothing less! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby 💕 *REPEAT CLIENTS WILL RECEIVE A DISCOUNTED PRICE* 9/26/25 UPDATE PLEASE READ DETAILED STATEMENT AT THE END OF THIS INTRODUCTION IN REGARD TO THE REVIEW LEFT BY DEBBY THAT WAS COMPLETELY UNTRUE- UNFORTUNATELY ROVER WILL NOT DELETE REVIEWS REGARDLESS OF THEM BEING A DEFAMATION AND COMPLETELY FALSE. MY DETAILED RESPONSE TO THE REVIEWED LEFT BY DEBBY- I wanted to give a detailed breakdown of what happened with Debby since rover will not take down the review even though they did a thorough investigation with photos/video and nasty messages sent by Debby to me. I took on this booking even though I had a gut feeling not to, but I ignored it and I wish I had not done that. I was asked last minute by Debby to care for her diabetic cat, she told me her cat was great with strangers and would have no issue with taking the insulin shots from me (lie number one). The morning of my first visit, Debby had messaged me informing she had birds in the house and to not pay attention to them.. now let me start off by saying that due to a past traumatic experience with a previous clients birds, I have developed a fear of being near them in close spaces (to which she pokes fun at in her review) and had I known she had them, I would not have accepted this booking. I was hesitant to enter her house but she said they were in a cage so I proceeded with the visit, upon opening her door one of the birds almost FLEW OUTSIDE because they were NOT in a cage(lie number two). I was immediately concerned by this not only due to my fear of birds but due to this being a safety risk considering the birds could’ve flew out the door if I didn’t get to it in time. After this happened, I wanted to turn around and leave but I couldn’t because I needed to give her cat an insulin shots. After I went upstairs, I could not find the cat anywhere and after ten minutes I found her hiding under the bed hissing at me, she was in no way friendly towards strangers. I did my best to get her to come with me, I was at the visit way longer than the scheduled 30 minutes to try to make sure her cat got the shot. After I was finally able to lure her out with a treat, I had to quickly grab her and administer the shot.. she clawed at me and bit me several times (photo proof was sent to rover). I was very taken back by this visit due to unexpected birds and a cat who was the complete opposite of what their owner described. I felt unsafe to continue the booking and feared that due to the cat’s unwillingness to come to me that she might not get her shots injected properly so her health was my number one priority, I immediately called rover support to report everything that had happened and I also informed Debby at the same time. Debby was awful to me, made fun of me and treated me with complete disregard and through all of that, I still remained calm, collective and professional. After she had hinted at threatening me, I cut off all contact with her and immediately reported that to rover as well. At that point it was now rover and Debby’s responsibility for the cats care, I felt even more unsafe after the awful things Debby said to me. I didn’t have to but I even worked with rover to find another sitter and wanted them to make sure they made others aware of the trust situation, I even offered to take the cat it’s vet or local cat sitting agency but that was denied and rover told me they would handle it all. After one week, I found that my rover account had been suspended and I had to call rover and speak with over ten different reps in one week to get my account back.. finally after they realized I had done NO wrong and it was all the pet owner, I got my account back and a lengthy apology from Rover. Upon getting my account back, I noticed Debby had left that review and I was devastated by that. I have worked so hard on this app to give the best care for others animals and that’s been proven by every other review just for hers to completely destroy all the good I’ve been doing by lying. I’m truly upset with Rover for not only allowing that review to be left there, but for allowing Debby to even still have an account after her lies, threats and defamation. I hope that no other rover sitters go through what I did with her. With all of that being said, I refuse to delete my account and start over as I want people to see all the good I’ve done and to be aware of what truly happened with Debby. I hope to continue to provide the best care possible for all my current rover clients and future ones, please do not let one woman’s lies deter you away from someone who truly loved and care for animals with her whole heart.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and I’ve always known I wanted to work with them. After working at a dog daycare, that feeling only grew stronger. I adore caring for dogs or any pets! Even with all of their very different personalities I love every single one of them and would care for them as if they were my own. I am completely free during the summer to give your pet lots of love! In the fall I have complete availability besides my morning classes :) I can’t care for many pets in my own home considering I do live in a small apartment. Pets are allowed however, they just wouldn’t have much room! I do have a crate and the potential to house your pet if that would be something you would want to explore! In any case, my unconditional love for animals should reassure you that they’d get the best care from me no matter the circumstances.

“Meghan and her family took such great care of our pups. She checked in often and reassured me they were doing great. They came home happy! Would definitely recommend Meghan to take care of your pets.”
“This was a wonderful experience for our mini doodle, Rosy! Perfect, quiet setting and lots of opportunity to safely play outside. Faith and her husband are very accommodating and we couldn’t have asked for better care for our pup. We definitely recommend!!”
“Amber is amazing! Very attentive and her professional and personal (has pets too) advice and care makes such a difference. So flexible! I needed her last minute and my dog Chadley felt so loved and cared for! I will be hiring her again and again. Chadley adored the time spent!”
“We are so grateful to have found Brian to care for our two very special dogs, both of whom come with their own quirks and sensitivities. Our sweet and playful pup, Abbi, gets anxious in new environments, while our 13-year-old, Hank, is mostly sweet and playful but can also be a bit reactive when startled, especially by fast movements or unfamiliar people. Brian was incredible with both of them. Hank warmed up to him almost immediately (something that rarely happens) and seeing him snuggling his head into Brian's hand during one of the daily video updates was a highlight for us. Brian’s calm, confident presence clearly helped both of our dogs feel safe and happy. They had plenty of space to explore, lots of outdoor playtime, and were cared for with patience and attentiveness. In addition to putting our dogs at ease, he also managed to put my husband-who tends to be quite anxious about leaving them-at ease, as well. The daily video updates, thoughtful care, and dog-friendly environment made all the difference.”
“Heather was amazing with Mika over the long weekend! She was super accommodating, very responsive, and kept us updated with daily pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mika was in such great hands. We really appreciated how caring and attentive she was. We would absolutely book with Heather again and highly recommend her!”
“Jody was extremely pleasant to work with. She was friendly immediately upon meeting her and interacted with our dogs like they were her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have loved and cared for 10 of my own fur friends(6 dogs, 4 cats) and been so lucky to love and care for many many more. From farm to house to tank to pen I have cared for pretty much everything except insects and arachnids. I've spent nights with road side rescues that became beloved family members, I've taken my bottle feeding resuce squirrel camping in a shoe box in my sleeping bag, I've fed horses and chickens in a blizzard. I've gently loved the old ones that are hanging on just a little bit longer and I've welcomed the brand new ones to this great big world. I am currently working part-time and have the flexibility to work around your schedule. Overnights and holidays are available with at home and boarding options. Lots of walks! I do have one friendly dog and a cat in my home with the ability to keep everyone separate if needed. Crating is also an option. Lots of love and attention. Your home or mine.

“Ashauna was the best dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog, and kept us updated all the time, and sent multiple pictures daily. I never worried once about him, because I knew he was in such good hands. She truly has a love for dogs and all animals. If you want someone you can trust with your pet that you love, please don’t hesitate to contact Ashauna, because she will treat your pet like he/she was her own, and give him/her plenty of love, affection, exercise, and care. She was in one word - awesome! And I would not hesitate to have her watch our dog again. N. Wesner”
