“Axel enjoyed his time with Adriana. He made new friends and I had peace of mind while on my vacation knowing he was in good hands and well taken care of. I received pictures and updates on Axel everyday and my questions were always responded to within an hour. I won’t hesitation leave him there whenever I need a sitter. Love you Adriana and Thank you again for taking such great care of Axel.”
“Chrisie was extremely friendly and kind from the Meet and Greet all the way through Westin’s stay. You can tell from the moment you meet her, she genuinely loves taking care of pets. She was knowledgeable, communicative and caring towards my pet as if he was her own. She sent me daily updates and pictures, I would highly recommend her! Thanks so much for being good to Westin, he’s happy to have met you and his new friends!”
“Joelene is great. Our Boxer Frannie was staying with her during an awful heat wave and I trusted Joelene would keep her safe and cool! As a bonus she’s always quite tired when she gets home so I know she’s had a lot of interaction and play!”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Chip had a great time with Bee! He was there 4 nights, very responsive if we checked in and provided updates. Very flexible with pickup and drop off. Based off her pictures of him relaxing and how calm he is when we picked him up, he seemed to have a good time! Thank you Bee! -Maria”

“Wonderful experience with Emily and Andre. They took such great care of our two babies while we were out of town. They sent updates and pictures every day, and really went above and beyond. Thank you so much!”
“Tara was wonderful with my Boston Terrier, Roo, over Thanksgiving, and I couldn’t have been happier. Roo stayed at her home and was treated like family. I especially appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos she sent—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of my little girl!”
About: I have been a pet owner for 30+ years (currently own no pets) and a pet sitter from the 80's and 90's when it was new to have someone in your house taking care of pets while traveling. I am new to Wayne County, after living in Delaware County, PA for 50 years. I am looking for a part time work from home job, but in the meantime thought I could fill my days with dog lovin. I miss having my own pet, so loving and caring for others would be a great fit. My home is spacious, with plenty of room to play, sleep and be crated (if necessary). I live on 2 acres, with access to 10k+ acres of woods out my back door. There is plenty of walking and exploring to do out my back door.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Jordyn P. gave my dog, Loki, while I was away for four days. She is the true definition of a dog lover! From the moment Loki arrived, she made sure he felt comfortable and loved. She gave him plenty of playtime, lots of one-on-one attention, and treated him like part of her family. It was exactly the home-like environment I was hoping for. Jordyn was also excellent at communicating. She kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The best part was seeing Loki come home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That told me everything I needed to know—he was comfortable, felt at home, and was genuinely loved during his stay. I highly recommend Jordyn P. to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. Loki and I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Jordyn, for taking such wonderful care of my boy!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would—honestly, this was one of the most above-and-beyond experiences we’ve ever had with any service, not just dog sitting. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly professional—but what truly blew us away was everything that happened *after* we booked her for what was supposed to be just a single day. Due to unexpected circumstances on our end, that one day turned into three… and she handled it with nothing but grace, flexibility, and genuine care. Not once did she make us feel like it was an inconvenience. In fact, she reassured us the entire time and treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could tell our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone who connects so naturally with animals, but she absolutely does. And then—when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more impressed—she somehow raised the bar even higher. She went out of her way to return our dog to us, taking not one but TWO Ubers to make sure everything worked out smoothly. Who does that?! That level of dedication, effort, and positivity is almost unheard of. The entire time, she maintained the most amazing attitude—warm, patient, and completely unbothered—when most people would understandably be stressed or frustrated. It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are. She didn’t just “watch our dog”—she showed kindness, flexibility, and a level of commitment that genuinely meant a lot to us during a stressful situation. If you are even *considering* booking with her, do it immediately. She is reliable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively). We would trust her again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again for everything—you are truly one of a kind!”
About: Hi! My name is Brooklin, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 18 years. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I previously worked with the Charleston Animal Society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. My background has given me the skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and have experience monitoring pets' health, feeding schedules, water intake, bathroom habits, and overall well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own and provide pet parents with peace of mind through dependable care and communication. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)
“Kaitlyn welcomed my dog as her own in her home. I received pictures and updates throughout the stay so I never had to worry. I appreciated how flexible Kaitlyn was with pickup and drop off times. Would recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have experience with special needs animals, seniors and kittens/puppies. I can administer medicine and am very cognizant of a pet’s personality. For example I have a timid cat, a menace cat and a love bug cat. My Siberian husky is more cat than dog too. I can do drop ins or board dogs in my home. I can also stop by for walks. For the board ins I prefer to take in only dogs because I don’t want to stress the kitty crew out, but I’d be available to come do drop ins for the cats. My yard isn’t completely fenced so I’d probably take the doggos to the park at apple grove and for walks around town. I have three friendly cats and my husky also loves dogs.
“This was my first time leaving my dog overnight and Kerri made me feel so at ease! She was very responsive and sent plenty of updates. Kobe had such a good stay and enjoyed spending the night with her and her family! I will definitely use her again!”

“Darcy was outstanding. She was great with the dogs, sent lots of pictures, even offered to stop by extra if the dogs were afraid of thunderstorms. She communicated promptly and was willing to bring in the mail for us. I can certainly recommend her, and will contact her again should the need arise. Thank you, Darcy.”
“Amber was excellent, excellent, excellent! She was on time morning and evening giving our cat his food and insulin injections. She communicated with us frequently complete with photos. I highly recommend Amber.”
“Colleen goes above and beyond. I will always have Colleen take care of my pets when I go away. Knowing my pets were being taken care of made my trip 100 times better. Lots of communication throughout, I would give 10 stars if that existed. Thank you.”
“Brittney was truly the best!!! She kept us updated every day, multiple times a day, with pictures and messages about our 3 kitties. She went above and beyond for us and put our mind at ease while we were away for the weekend. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Lori is a great sitter. Gracie (the cat) pulled her antics as normal and Lori was concerned with her well being. Thank you for the great overall concern and the cute pictures she took. Lori is in my book for future bookings. Thank you again!”
“Nathaniel took care of my cat Ghost for an extended time over the holidays. He was extremely kind, helpful,and flexible as this was a last minute booking. Nathaniel communicated with me daily and sent pictures to let me know how Ghost was doing. He made accommodations for Ghost so that she would be comfortable and feel safe, as well as have the option to interact with his cats at her own pace. I highly recommend Nathaniel and will definitely book him again in the future!”
About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away. Since starting Rover in August 21’, I’ve had 10+ repeat clients and have established great friendships with families/people in the community as a result. I have a M-F teaching position 8am-4pm and summer months off. I am currently a part time Binghamton University graduate student studying for a masters degree in early childhood special education. A little history: I grew up with a miniature schnauzer (Zoie) whom towards the end of her life, needed constant supervision and was administered medicine 3x/ day, grooming/washing daily. I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away to ease your anxiety. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved. I have a white pitbull fur baby (Minnie). Shes a loyal, sweet and well behaved dog, I’m so lucky and thankful for her every day as she brings me so much happiness. She stays at home with her other best friend, my significant other while I’m away. If you think I’d be a good fit for your fur baby or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer them all and hope you will consider me to take care of your pet. I work M-F through a nearby school, being able to provide supervision to animals while I am home. Check my calendar for the most up to date availability, please 😌 House sitting: Provide overnight care, 24/7 care, other responsibilities to care for your home while you are away (watering plants, picking up mail, cleaning, etc.) Always love to send picture and video updates 2-3x/a day of your furry one to ensure you are comfortable and know that your animal is well cared for and happy in my care!
“This is our first time using Rover, and Shayla is above and beyond our expectations. Our fullsize goldendoodle Mac is reactive to new people, and Shayla has put in the effort to go slow with our boy, and it's paying off. Over several visits, she has won over his curiosity and trust, and has asked us about his tendencies, to help ensure his comfort and routine as she prepares to house sit for us. Our trip will be the first time that both my husband and I are going away since we've had Mac, and I am certain he will be in great hands. I can't wait to see how Shayla's relationship with our dog continues. Seeing her approach with him, we can tell she's an experienced and knowledgeable sitter.”

“Aurora had a lovely retreat in the country with Amber in a beautiful setting with plenty of care and cuddles. I immediately felt comfortable with Aurora spending the day with Amber who is warm, friendly and clearly has a special way with animals. She kept me posted on Aurora’s adventures throughout the day. Hope Aurora has a chance to visit again!”

“Tara was amazing with our sweet girl Piper! She kept us updated and sent pictures and updates throughout Friday and Saturday. We could not be more pleased! Piper loved her and we will not hesitate to book her again!! 🐶♥️🐾”
“Honestly I don't think I could find a better person to care for my baby when we aren't home. Serena seemed to have a good time and was able to relax and not be nervous. She even ate some dinner (which she usually doesn't when we aren't around).”
About: Hey, I'm Kelly! I've dog-sat for friends over the years for various lengths of time, getting to know many different breeds and their unique personalities.

So, while you're away, they'll be having their own little fun-filled vacation at my place.
About: As a dedicated pet sitter with a special love for large breed dogs, I bring both experience and confidence to every stay.

“Shayla did a great job walking my special boi! He’s a bit of a puller but she was super understanding and accommodating. She even found him a nice open field to run in and get his energy out! I appreciated the detailed summary card she left at the end too. Will request again! Thanks Shayla!”

Your dog will enjoy a safe, fun, and nurturing home where they are treated like part of the family while you’re away.
“Wonderful experience with Emily and Andre. They took such great care of our two babies while we were out of town. They sent updates and pictures every day, and really went above and beyond. Thank you so much!”
About: I have been a pet owner for 30+ years (currently own no pets) and a pet sitter from the 80's and 90's when it was new to have someone in your house taking care of pets while traveling. I am new to Wayne County, after living in Delaware County, PA for 50 years. I am looking for a part time work from home job, but in the meantime thought I could fill my days with dog lovin. I miss having my own pet, so loving and caring for others would be a great fit. My home is spacious, with plenty of room to play, sleep and be crated (if necessary). I live on 2 acres, with access to 10k+ acres of woods out my back door. There is plenty of walking and exploring to do out my back door.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Jordyn P. gave my dog, Loki, while I was away for four days. She is the true definition of a dog lover! From the moment Loki arrived, she made sure he felt comfortable and loved. She gave him plenty of playtime, lots of one-on-one attention, and treated him like part of her family. It was exactly the home-like environment I was hoping for. Jordyn was also excellent at communicating. She kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The best part was seeing Loki come home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That told me everything I needed to know—he was comfortable, felt at home, and was genuinely loved during his stay. I highly recommend Jordyn P. to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. Loki and I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Jordyn, for taking such wonderful care of my boy!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would—honestly, this was one of the most above-and-beyond experiences we’ve ever had with any service, not just dog sitting. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly professional—but what truly blew us away was everything that happened *after* we booked her for what was supposed to be just a single day. Due to unexpected circumstances on our end, that one day turned into three… and she handled it with nothing but grace, flexibility, and genuine care. Not once did she make us feel like it was an inconvenience. In fact, she reassured us the entire time and treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could tell our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone who connects so naturally with animals, but she absolutely does. And then—when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more impressed—she somehow raised the bar even higher. She went out of her way to return our dog to us, taking not one but TWO Ubers to make sure everything worked out smoothly. Who does that?! That level of dedication, effort, and positivity is almost unheard of. The entire time, she maintained the most amazing attitude—warm, patient, and completely unbothered—when most people would understandably be stressed or frustrated. It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are. She didn’t just “watch our dog”—she showed kindness, flexibility, and a level of commitment that genuinely meant a lot to us during a stressful situation. If you are even *considering* booking with her, do it immediately. She is reliable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively). We would trust her again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again for everything—you are truly one of a kind!”
About: Hi! My name is Brooklin, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 18 years. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I previously worked with the Charleston Animal Society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. My background has given me the skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and have experience monitoring pets' health, feeding schedules, water intake, bathroom habits, and overall well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own and provide pet parents with peace of mind through dependable care and communication. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)
“Kaitlyn welcomed my dog as her own in her home. I received pictures and updates throughout the stay so I never had to worry. I appreciated how flexible Kaitlyn was with pickup and drop off times. Would recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have experience with special needs animals, seniors and kittens/puppies. I can administer medicine and am very cognizant of a pet’s personality. For example I have a timid cat, a menace cat and a love bug cat. My Siberian husky is more cat than dog too. I can do drop ins or board dogs in my home. I can also stop by for walks. For the board ins I prefer to take in only dogs because I don’t want to stress the kitty crew out, but I’d be available to come do drop ins for the cats. My yard isn’t completely fenced so I’d probably take the doggos to the park at apple grove and for walks around town. I have three friendly cats and my husky also loves dogs.
“This was my first time leaving my dog overnight and Kerri made me feel so at ease! She was very responsive and sent plenty of updates. Kobe had such a good stay and enjoyed spending the night with her and her family! I will definitely use her again!”
“From start to finish, Bryan made me confident and comfortable leaving my puppy Moki with him for the night. He was attentive to her needs and behaviors and gave updates on her stay with him throughout. It's good to know we have a place so close to home to leave Moki when we go on our hiking trips until she's old enough to join us. Will definitely use Bryan's services again!”
“Patricia and her family are amazing. Her dogs are great. My puppy was with her for 9 days. She sent videos and pictures every day. She really kept my mind at ease while on vacation. My very active puppy was busy and happy the whole time. Will definitely bring Dixon back to play with all his new friends ❤️”
