Highly-rated overnight sitters - Back Mountain
“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.”
“Amber was fantastic. She was sympathetic to my worry over my first time leaving Bean. She was thoughtful, taking time each day to send me photos and videos with updates on how he was doing. She updated me at least twice a day while taking care of other dogs, her own animals, her business, and her family. She went above and beyond. When we arrived home and unpacked his bag, she had taken the time to handcraft an ornament with his name. This will be Bean's first Christmas and she gave us his first ornament. We suffered the loss of both of our beloved dogs, Cappy and Blue within less than 3 months less than a year ago. One from old age and one from cancer. We have been so careful and diligent with our new rescue Bean. She knew this and accommodated our paranoia with compassion and understanding. Bean is our little wild child and she took care of him as her own. We highly recommend her and value her as our sitter. It eases our minds knowing that he has a place to go if we need to get away for a day, or go on vacay without our little buddy.”
“She had been amazing to my dog and met up several times. My dog adore her. She’s great taking care of my dog while I went on vacation. She really gives me peace of mind. Highly recommended. She sent me videos and pictures. Definitely will be it interesting booking with her again”
“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“From communication to care, Glenn was amazing! He took care of my Fluffy as if she were his own. I will definitely be re-booking with him and highly encourage all others to do the same!”
“Laura did a wonderful job in caring for our dogs. It was very nice to receive updates on how well they are doing along with pictures of them bonding with her family. This had allowed my husband and I to enjoy our honeymoon knowing our babies are in good hands. We will definitely book her again the next time we need a dog sitter. Thank you Laura!”
“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”
“I would HIGHLY recommend Cheyenne for pet sitting/boarding! She was so amazing with my cockapoo Sander! She frequently communicated with me via messages/pictures. I felt SO comfortable dropping him off there while I went away for a few days. She will treat your pet just like her own, I cannot say enough wonderful things about her 💕”
“MariJeimi and David did an amazing job watching our Peanut and Hershey - you can tell they truly love and care for animals. They gave us great peace of mind while away with frequent updates/photos on how they were doing. They truly went the extra mile to make sure our pups felt welcome. Both our babies looked like they felt right at home with them and were treated fantastic! It's tough finding the right people to trust with your fur babies but if you've been lucky enough to land on this profile you have to look no further. We definitely will be using them again in the future and are so thankful we found them to care for our pups.”
“Jennifer has been great with our dogs for years and we will for sure keep coming back. She treats your pet like her own and really goes above and beyond! Highly recommend!”
“I was looking for a last minute sitter and my coworker told me about Rover. I found Debbie and Phil on the app and got a quick response. We did a meet and greet two days later and I was blown away by the size of the yard (all fenced in). For the price of a kennel, Debbie and Phil took amazing care of my Australian Shepard. They sent me daily pictures and videos and my dog Daisy had a blast running around with their other dogs. Skip the kennel, these guys are great! Your dog will thank you. Thanks Phil and Debbie.”
“The best around. Karen and Donald are the only people we call.They took care of our one fur baby 4 times and our little fur baby twice. Our most recent one was top notch. We have a dog who has epilepsy and ended up having a seizure while we were away. They kept us fully informed and took amazing care of him. I would not choose anyone else. They treat our pups like their own.”
“Jack & Joanne took such great care of Shelby! This was our first time leaving her overnight and we were a bit nervous. There was no reason to be nervous because they took care of her like their own.”
About: Hello, my name is Haley and I’m located in Nanticoke! I’ve been around dogs & taking care of them since I was little! I have a fur baby, a German Shepherd who’s the sweetest boy and would love to have some friends. I have a fenced backyard where your pup can run. I’ll also take them on walks & give them lots of snuggles! I am currently available all day! So I am able to give your pup undivided attention and love.

“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!”
“Samantha took such great care of our pups! She was friendly, super responsive and responsible! Our pups came home very content and seemed to have loved their stay with her family, we HIGHLY recommend!”

“Jennifer and her family were wonderful and took care of our kitten. Frequent pictures and addressing any feeding and space needs made it like Kasha was at a second home away from home. Cannot recommend enough for anyone that is looking to board their pet!”
“Gia was absolutely amazing! She cared for my two dogs over 3 days—17-year-old River, who is handicapped and in diapers, and 5-year-old Teddy, who’s very skittish—with incredible patience and love. She handled diaper changes with ease, gave Teddy the gentle attention he needed, and was always punctual. The thoughtful updates and sweet photos gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were happy, safe, and clearly loved her. I couldn’t have asked for better care. Truly five-star service!”
“Adam watched my cats this weekend (two drop-in visits) for the first time; he was fantastic and exceeded all my expectations! He showed up exactly at the arranged times and texted me 11 pictures each visit which not only showed me my beloved cats, but also showed me that all of the necessary tasks we had discussed previously had been completed (ie a picture of a cleaned litter pan, a picture of a food plate arranged with medication, etc). And bullet items for each cat such as if poop and or pee was found in the litterpan. I highly recommend Adam and will definitely be using his services in the future! Thank you Adam!”
“Thank you so much Jessica for taking such amazing care of my babies. Your messages were so funny and well written. My trip was very peaceful and relaxing and all the more so because I had someone so caring it made me feel such peace of mind knowing someone like you was looking after my fur babies! I looked forward everyday to reading your daily updates in the notes on rover. I'm glad my cat Gizmo got the chance to boss somebody else around for a change lol.”
“Anna was so great watching our two cats. Very communicative and went above and beyond to ensure my cats were comfortable. Will book with Anna every time we are out of town!”
“Jill was amazing! She was very thorough with ensuring she covered all of Izzy’s routine while she was here. She communicated with me the whole time and gave me updates. I also felt very comfortable having her stay at my home. We will definitely be using Jill again to care for our kitty!!”

I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they are away. Safety is always my top priority.

I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
“I was really worried about leaving my 2 cats with anyone. I had never been apart from them before. But Kennedy made me feel really at ease with everything. Both Plush & Narni were very well taken care of. Kennedy sent me photos everyday, to show how happy my fur babies were. I would defintely hire Kennedy to take care of my babies again. Thank you so much Kennedy.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Back Mountain
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of having Christina take care of my two fur babies, Atlas and Arya, and I couldn't be more grateful for her exceptional service. This was the first time I've ever had someone watch over them, and naturally, I was quite nervous. However, Christina's professionalism and genuine care quickly put my mind at ease. From the moment we met, Christina was warm and attentive, immediately forming a bond with both Atlas and Arya. Throughout the day, she stayed in constant communication, sending me multiple updates and adorable pictures of my pets enjoying their time with her. These updates were invaluable in easing my anxiety, and it was clear from the photos that my pets were happy and comfortable. Christina's dedication and attention to detail were evident in every interaction. She followed all my instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to ensure that Atlas and Arya were well taken care of. Her thoughtful updates and consistent communication turned a potentially stressful situation into a very positive experience. I highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. She truly understands the importance of trust and communication, and her love for animals shines through in everything she does. Thank you, Christina, for taking such wonderful care of Atlas and Arya and for making their first experience with a pet sitter so positive and enjoyable!”

I know my puppy had the time of her life playing with her dog. I trust Amber with my puppy anytime and I hope she is available if needed in the future. Thank you.”

About: Hi, I’m MJ, and dogs have been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I've cared for a variety of breeds and even some exotic animals, including a wild rabbit and an armadillo. I have a wealth of pet-sitting experience, and while living in the Lehigh Valley, I built a large clientele, earning 5-star reviews for the love and attention I gave to every pet in my care. My heart shattered when I lost Bella, my beloved 13-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, on 9/28/2024. Bella taught me more than I could ever imagine about caring for senior dogs. Through holistic methods and homemade nutrition, I extended her life and kept her healthy for 13 beautiful years. Bella needed special care, including gentle exercise, frequent bathroom breaks, a comfortable resting environment, and close monitoring of her health and behavior. I administered medications when necessary and worked hand-in-hand with her vet to ensure she had the best life possible. What sets me apart is the personal experience I gained from caring for Bella. I know how to tailor care for senior dogs, understanding the importance of mobility support, dietary restrictions, and health conditions. I always stay in close communication with pet owners to ensure I am meeting all of your dog’s specific needs. I pride myself on creating a safe, hazard-free, and chemical-free environment (aside from essential cleaning products in the bathroom and kitchen). Your dog will never come near harmful chemicals in my clean, cozy apartment, where they’re free to snuggle on the couch or bed. Also, I have plenty of experience feeding according to strict dietary instructions and administering oral medication as needed. Since Bella crossed the rainbow, my heart has been heavy, but the presence of other pets has helped me heal the sadness. I would love the opportunity to share my affection with your furry family member and care for them as if they were my own. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior needing extra attention, I'll give them the same love and devotion I gave to Bella, with the hope that one day, I'll meet her again. We wanted to share a small update about our schedule. Recently, David’s work situation has changed, and he is no longer home full-time. While I still work outside the home and we continue to coordinate our part-time jobs on different days, there may now be occasional times when neither of us is home for short periods. That said, we’re always happy to talk through any questions you may have, and we’re committed to working with you to find a solution if needed. Pet care remains an important part of our daily routine, and your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness continue to be our top priority. We truly appreciate your trust and are excited to keep welcoming your pets as part of our family. In our home, we provide a cozy, safe, and loving environment for your dog. While we don’t have a yard, we live in a quiet apartment complex with plenty of green areas for walks and outdoor play. We enjoy strolling around the peaceful neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. Rest assured, we always keep dogs on a leash to maintain their safety, and we carefully monitor their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. Inside our home, your pet will have access to all the comforts they deserve—whether it’s relaxing on the couch or snuggling up on the bed. We take extra care to create a stress-free, hazard-free space where your dog can feel at ease. Our goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy.

About: I have taken care of neighbors & family members pets for the past 5 years, and have two of my own puppies. Love all animals! I currently work part time (usually 8:30-4:00) three days per week. My days change every week but I am home every weekend & every evening. My backyard is fenced in and I have multiple crates. Comfortable walking, crating, feeding, and pottying dogs. Can follow any regimen your dog is used to!
About: I believe pets are part of the family and should be treated that way. I have had many pets and love their companionship and have also included them in my daily routine I’m currently unemployed after 34 years with the same employer, I am dependable and experienced as evidenced by the amount of dedicated service to my former employer. I am responsible and really enjoy the outdoors and including my dog in daily activities outside We walk our German Shepherd daily and play with her in the yard. I have 2 cats as well that love to cuddle . We spoil them!
About: I have taken care of dogs for about 2-3 years now. I have worked at animal shelters and now currently work at an emergency veterinary hospital, so I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds and cats. I have also been fostering and rescuing dogs for about 6 years now alongside my mother. I work full time, 3 days a week however, on my days off, I would be able to care for them at any hour needed. My mother and I have a fenced in yard and 6 small dogs of all ages for your dog to play or relax with. They would never be crated unless given instructions to do so and will be treated like a member of the household and given unconditional love and care.
“Adam provided an outstanding care to my dog. He also feeded him and followed all instructions. I had an emergency and as a last minute request he immediately responded. Adam was very friendly with my dog after checking camaras inside and outside my home.”
About: I was raised around all kinds of animals, and have cared for cats, dogs, snakes, and rabbits. I love them all unconditionally and believe they should be raised to know full bellies, warm cozy nights, and endless love. I have experience working as a groomers assistant and a kennel attendant professionally for about 3 years as well, so I know how to handle special needs ranging from anxiety to aggression. I also understand what it's like to be tight on funds, and the need to budget tightly in order to properly care for your furry friends! If my Rover prices are too high for your budget, shoot me a message and I can help you stay in your range! I'm flexible, especially since all pets are different and require different amounts of work! I'm currently transitioning into working a typical full time job, so my once very wide open schedule has slimmed down a lot. I can best typically do check ins and walks in the early morning and in the evening. I'm assuming that I'll be doing a typical 9 to 5, so anything before 9am or after 5pm is within reach for me to make sure your pets are well cared for and loved while you're away. ❤️ You can reach out to me with any schedule questions and I can try to work something out with you! I always do my very best to be as gentle as possible with all pets! I tend to avoid using "alpha" proving tactics unless it is necessary for my or your pets safety (ex. scruffing, using chokers tightly, using the shock option over the buzz option on an electric collar). I see these options as only being necessary when the pet is acceptionally aggressive and may hurt myself, itself, or others. I'm also very cautious around doors as I know many pets would take the opportunity to bolt it into the street if they could. I can handle bruises and scratches well from excited pets! I'm usually always covered in them from my own fur babies.
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite part of the day is seeing their tail wag! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end my days by making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. When at a clients home, I treat the space with respect and make sure to stick to the pets routine. I am willing to provide regular updates and pictures to make the owners feel as comfortable as possible!
“Daniela was great with my dog Fetty. She came to meet her before I left on my trip so that Fetty knew her and was comfortable. I’m away a few times every year and Daniela will be my first choice to take care of Fetty.”

My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the past year. I do have a full time job. I am available to do a quick lunch time walk (location is a factor for a lunch time walk) after 4pm M,T, Th,F. Sorry I’m not available on Wednesday’s I volunteer at a local animal rescue 😊 Saturdays and Sundays I am flexible I’d be happy to work with you regarding any specific safety needs for your pet(s)! I would go over everything with you at our meet and greet.
About: I work from home in a dog-friendly apartment complex with a flexible schedule so I am available all day to care for all your dog’s needs. I try to go for my own walks a few times per day so it would definitely be nice to have a little company. Located conveniently very close to the beautiful Schyulkill River Trail in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania and we also have a large fenced in dog park behind our apartment building as well. We have no other dogs in the apartment. I have a lifetime of experience of taking care of dogs at home but we have too hectic of a schedule to get one of our own. I’m very excited to be able to assist you and your dog.

About: I have health care experience from my daily career and I've been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. This includes several kitten rescues and rehoming. My little girl abby was a recue. Feeding, grooming, litter care needs, emotional support, love, time, and attention all go towards my cat at home on a daily basis. It's a labor of love. I would approach each clients needs with focus on respect, reliability, attention to details, and loving care towards each clients pet. I understand each clients needs will be individual.
About: “From tail wags to soft purrs—and even tiny paws and eight legs—I love helping pets feel happy and cared for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets, including ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, and even tarantulas. I’ve walked, bathed, and trained animals (including a dog that became a service animal), so I know patience, attention, and trust are key. Every pet in my care gets love, safety, and companionship, just like they’re part of my family.” My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to provide walks, playtime, or overnight care whenever your pet needs it. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. “I deeply care for every pet in my care, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep their space clean, comfortable, and secure, and I pay close attention to their needs so they always feel nurtured and well-cared-for.”

Love you Adriana and Thank you again for taking such great care of Axel.”

“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“Laura did a wonderful job in caring for our dogs. It was very nice to receive updates on how well they are doing along with pictures of them bonding with her family. This had allowed my husband and I to enjoy our honeymoon knowing our babies are in good hands. We will definitely book her again the next time we need a dog sitter. Thank you Laura!”
“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”
“I would HIGHLY recommend Cheyenne for pet sitting/boarding! She was so amazing with my cockapoo Sander! She frequently communicated with me via messages/pictures. I felt SO comfortable dropping him off there while I went away for a few days. She will treat your pet just like her own, I cannot say enough wonderful things about her 💕”
“Jennifer has been great with our dogs for years and we will for sure keep coming back. She treats your pet like her own and really goes above and beyond! Highly recommend!”
“Jack & Joanne took such great care of Shelby! This was our first time leaving her overnight and we were a bit nervous. There was no reason to be nervous because they took care of her like their own.”
“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!”

“Bryan did an amazing job watching Arya (German Shepard)! We have never left her with anyone other than family so we were very nervous, but he sent us photos each day. It’s nice to have someone we trust in the area! Our dog is also not the easiest as she doesn’t do well with other dogs all the time and can sometimes have anxiety but he understood and was able to accommodate her!”
“Sairy was amazing with Dutchie for a 6 night stay. Very flexible with pick up/drop off as well as communicative with picture and videos. I was able to relax on vacation knowing he was in Sairy’s care. Thank you again Sairy!”
About: Hi! I’m Julie. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by a menagerie of animals from a young age. Everything from chickens and goats to rabbits, cats, and dogs, and the occasional bit of wildlife, were welcome in my families home. As a high school student I became increasingly involved in agriculture and milked cows and cared for livestock. This turned into a love that led me to college in rural Maine where I earned a degree in Agriculture and Sustainability, all while working on a dairy farm each day. Currently, I homeschool my two children and am blessed with the ability to work from home. We live on a wooded property and have access to a small lake which is boarded by a wooded dirt road. Additionally, we have a small walking trail system directly on our property. We share our home with a Newfie doodle, Arlo, who is 1.5 years old, a Sulcuta tortoise, and a cat that lives under the bed. We have a large red deck with a fenced in space off of this for easy bathroom access and unleashed roaming space for your dog. I work from home and homeschool my children. Our days have built in flexibility and can be arranged to accommodate the needs of any pet staying with us. We enjoy time outdoors, and can often be found working remotely or “out schooling” from our backyard or a hiking trail. In our home, the pets are people too (and we will narrate their thoughts based on their expressions 🤪). Pets are allowed on the furniture and in all rooms. We have a large front porch for slow mornings and evenings that stretch well past sunset. We also have a large deck in the rear which has a fenced area off of it to allow plenty of space for unattended bathroom breaks or unleashed space to roam. My children are well versed in animal care and also understand giving space to a new animal, calm energy, etc. I will always setup a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Medications can be distributed, and special diets can be managed.
About: Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets. I currently work from home! This means I am available at any time throughout the day. We can absolutely devise a schedule get your pet the best care. When pets are in my home or I visit a client's home, I always take note of the animal's state looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the space the pet is in and make sure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) is out of reach of the pet. I make sure everyone has access to water at all times.
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.
