I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and will definitely come back again. Thank you for your love and care to our lovely puppy!”

“Sruthi and Abba took such wonderful care of our Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in loving hands. They kept us updated throughout the day with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. They even went the extra mile to make sure our picky little munchkin ate well, showing so much patience and genuine care. It was clear they treated Bruno like one of their own. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and will absolutely book with them again. We highly recommend Sruthi and Abba to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and caring home for their fur babies . Your furry family member will be in the best hands!”

I could not enjoy my time away if Charly wasn’t with Meagen and her family!!!!”
“Brandi was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving Kuma in her care. We loved all the pictures and detailed updates she sent — it meant so much to see how happy and well cared for our pup was while we were away. It was clear she truly cares and goes above and beyond. We will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive dog sitter!”

I wouldn’t hesitate to request boarding with Jean in the future.”
“Finley had an amazing week! I felt totally at ease while away and knew he was being well cared for. He had room to run, and with the kids present, he got lots of playtime. I received very prompt feedback. We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog. We have found our Rover! Finley will be back!!! 🐩”

About: I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and not all felines enjoy cuddles or constant attention. I have experience scooping litter boxes, preparing meals, administering medications, and recognizing when a cat wants affection or simply needs space. Cats are my favorite animals, and I have spent time learning about feline behavior and body language to better understand their needs and provide patient, compassionate, and stress-free care.
About: With 5 years of experience as a cat sitter, I offer personalized, attentive care for your feline companions. Whether your cat needs regular feeding, playtime, or just a calm presence while you’re away. I provide daily updates, ensuring peace of mind that your cat is happy and comfortable in their own home. From shy to playful, I adapt to every cat’s personality, ensuring they feel loved and secure while you’re away. Reliable, professional, and passionate about providing the best care for your furry friend!

About: I have had cats all my life and I absolutely adore them! Ever since I was little I’ve had the responsibility of taking care of my family’s cats. Especially cleaning the litter box! I’d love to help take care of your kitties!
About: I grew up with dogs and while my current situation isn't conducive to owning, dogsitting and walking suffice the immediate urge. I grew up with St. Bernards, so I can handle dogs of all sizes. My schedule will be very open, but I enjoy waking up early and going on walks, so if that is something that you are looking for I would gladly volunteer my services. I am very active and am ready to tire out your dog in the yard or on a run when necessary. Looking forward to spending time with your dog! I'm taking some time in between jobs, so my days are wide open, but I play soccer in the evenings very regularly, so that is the only part of the day where I may have limitations. I am not able to offer boarding given my apartment restrictions, but I can assure you I will treat your home with care and respect.
About: Cats have always been a big part of my life — I’ve grown up with them for as long as I can remember. I also worked for a pet sitting company, where I cared for cats of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable giving medication, keeping up with special diets, and making sure litter boxes are clean and fresh. My parents currently have two cats that I watch from time to time. Whether your cat loves playtime or prefers quiet company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away.
About: We are nestled on 2.5 acres in North Coventry Township. We have a large portion of the property fenced in offering plenty of safe playtime. Our beloved bulldog went to the Rainbow Bridge & we are currently pet free. ** Please note – while we are currently dog free, we are no longer hosting non dog friendly. I have an animal science degree and have owned and operated a pet sitting business for over 20 years. I have also worked as an educator for the Philadelphia Zoo. Animals are my education and my career, taking "animal lover" to a different level. :-) We are unable to host large dogs. Small to medium sized dogs only. We host one dog at a time to make sure your furkid gets our undivided attention. If you live in the Pottstown area, I am also able to offer drop in visits & walking at your home. Please message for details. Additionally, we offer bird/parrot boarding if you or someone you know would like for their feathered kid to have lots of interaction. I have decades of bird experience from my time working at the Zoo & I had an African Grey parrot for 20 years. I have many sized cages available for your birds stay (if you choose to use one of mine) to allow for a seamless pick up/drop off experience. Feel free to message me with any specific questions.😁🐶🦜 I own a pet sitting business & have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home for long periods at a time. I’m in & out, but more in than out. Jason is also home full-time three days per week. Between both of our schedules, there is very close to constant company. I have a large fenced in yard fior plenty of secure and supervised playtime. I only take one dog at a time to make sure this is a fun & safe experience. I own a pet sitting business, so I’m in and out throughout the day. Jason is home full-time three days per week and home until 3:30 the other days. There is close to constant supervision. We have a spacious and secure fenced in yard in a country setting. We have some acreage where we can walk your dog as well. Unless we're out doing something together, someone is usually home. There may an occasional hour or two that no one is home. So pretty close to constant supervision. I have a very large & secure fenced in area. I always ask owners what they do with their dog at home & try to match that. For example, if you crate when you leave your house, I would do the same.

About: Hi, I’m Adina, owner of Playful Paws Pet Sitting. I offer thoughtful, high-quality care for dogs and cats in a calm, home-style environment. I specialize in one-on-one attention, consistent routines, and low-stress care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced, insured, and deeply detail-oriented — from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and quiet companionship. I intentionally limit bookings so every pet receives unrushed, individualized care. My clients are often busy professionals who want complete peace of mind while they’re away. I provide clear communication, photo updates, and the kind of dependable care I’d expect for my own pets. Your home and your pet will always be treated with respect, warmth, and discretion. If your pet stays with me, I offer an executive home on a large one acre flat lot and access to nearby trails. For sporty dogs, we take two twenty minute walks a day and one long hike in the woods (1-2 hrs) in addition to regular potty breaks outside. For the couch potatoes, I offer lots of quiet places to lounge and toys and enrichment like puzzles. Your dog can have total privacy if needed, but it’s better for everyone if they get along with other dogs. My home is like camp for dogs! I am with your dog all day, and will not leave them for more than 1.5 hours to run a simple errand. If you’re looking for reliable, concierge-level pet care, I’d love to connect. I specialize in anxious pets, senior pets, and pets who need a lot of medical attention throughout the day. My clients are mostly long term and like family and I develop lasting relationships with your pets! This is my full time job and so I am available to you and your pets. Please discuss with me the details of what you need and I will give your pets all the love and attention they deserve. I’m friendly, flexible, and will go above and beyond to keep your pets happy. I treat all animals with love and respect. I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am neat and organized and will treat your home with care and respect. I will send you photos/videos of your pet(s) as well as daily written updates. I specialize in dogs and cats with anxiety or who are shy, as I take the time with your pets to make sure they are comfortable.
About: My hands-on pet care experience comes from being a dedicated dog mom to three wonderful dogs. I currently care for a 13-year-old Shih Tzu, Dash and a 4-year-old Goldendoodle, Bubba giving me experience with both senior dogs and younger, energetic breeds. We recently lost our 14 year old Maltese, Ice T to heart failure, he fought hard and strong for 3 years. Caring for my senior dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and recognizing the unique needs that come with aging pets, including maintaining routines, administering medications when needed, and providing extra comfort and attention. At the same time, my Goldendoodle keeps me active with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will care for your pets with the same love, attention, and compassion that I give my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, from senior dogs to active younger dogs. On weekdays, I'm typically available in the mornings, during lunch, and throughout the evening. Weekends are generally open, allowing me to provide additional playtime, exercise, and one-on-one attention. I only take one pet at a time so I can ensure each dog receives personalized care, supervision, and lots of love while their family is away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home where pets are treated like family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs and active breeds. My home features a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for supervised outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods and receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship throughout the day. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for during their stay.
“Sruthie and Abha have been amazing! My dog has been so happy with them and has been given so much attention and love! I highly recommend them as they are wonderful people with big hearts. They sent me pictures and messages all day long! I’m so happy I found them!”
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals since I’ve been 10 years old. I currently have a yellow lab who is the sweetest dog! He enjoys all animals and is gentle when playing. I watch all my friends and families' pets when they go away. I mainly work from home during the week. Occasionally, I may need to go into the office. I have a fenced in yard where your dog can room or I can take your dog for a walks all throughout the day. I have one dog who would love company. I have a nice fenced in yard. Your pet will be allowed to be on my furniture and sleep in my bed.

About: Lifelong dog owner and previous pet-sitting business owner; will care for your dog; young, old, big, small. Your dog will be lovingly cared for! (Note: So sorry but we are cautious about hosting aggressive breeds because of past experiences.) I am home quite a bit so your pup will get plenty of attention and exercise. I may be out for a two+ hour stretch here so bringing a crate is highly recommended. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space to roam. We also have hiking trails nearby for walks, if preferred. Plenty of exercise given!
“Alexa was amazing. Super responsive, sent a ton of pictures and kept me updated. Roo had a cone on during his stay and when the one I had broke, Alexa made she he got a new one same day. Would highly recommend”
“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“Danielle was so amazing! I was in Great Falls for 9 days for a training and needed to find someone who I trusted with my beloved pup. From our first Zoom meeting I knew Danielle and I were both fellow animal lovers. From my questions, I could tell that she had a lot of experience with dogs and knew how to handle potential problem situations. Danielle also asked me all the right questions to set my heart at ease. I didn't have to worry about my dog at all when I dropped her off in the morning for day care. I was able to enjoy my training, knowing she was with the best person possible. Danielle went above and beyond in helping my out and I deeply appreciate her and the care and attention she gave us both. I highly recommend Danielle!”
About: Looking for a calm, loving place where your dog will be treated like family? You've found it! I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so my goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible. Whether you need doggy daycare for a few hours, overnight boarding, or care for a long weekend, your pup will receive plenty of one-on-one attention in a peaceful home. One of the biggest perks? I don't currently have a dog of my own, so your pup gets my full attention without having to compete with other resident dogs. I work from home full-time, so they'll have companionship throughout the day, regular potty breaks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of love. My home is set up with dogs in mind, including a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. Every dog has their own routine, and I'm happy to accommodate it. If your pup is crate-trained, I'm happy to continue that routine. If they prefer to free roam, they're welcome to make themselves at home. I have a naturally quiet household—no loud music or constant commotion—making it an ideal environment for dogs who enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. Whether your dog loves to play, snuggle on the couch, or simply nap in a cozy spot, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have two cats who live upstairs in their own separate area and do not interact with boarding dogs, allowing everyone to enjoy their own space comfortably. I know you're trusting someone with a member of your family, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pup with the same patience, affection, and care I'd want for my own pet, while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

“Bridget took our Pip in on a VERY short notice and she was fantastic. Her communication from start to end was at the speed of light, she really took time to get to know Pip and understand his needs. Pip had a blast, and if the opportunity arises, we will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I grew up in the home of biologist who kept all sorts of pets. I have experienced caring for a variety of animals, however have the most familiarity with care for canines. I spent a few years fostering dogs with different issues such as separation anxiety and aggression. I raised and trained a Belgian Malinois from 16 weeks to 1 year, giving me experience with intelligent and high energy dogs. I woke full-time from home and therefore am available to be with the pets all day. I am currently a full-time stay at home mom who works remotely about 10 hours a week. MY schedule is open and flexible to accommodate pets. I currently have a 2 year old son who enjoys animals. I am mindful of safety practice for children and pets to keep both safe. I do not have a fenced in yard and will use a leash to leave the house at all times. Depending on your pet's behavior I can crate them and keep them separated in another part of the house.
“Julie & Caleb were incredibly responsive and helpful when I needed a daycare arrangement for my Pointer. I ended up cancelling due to a change of plans, but will absolutely rebook in the future if I need daycare when in town.”
“It was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter having recently adopted my dog. It was a great experience. Jay was great to work with and I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with Jay.”
About: About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home! 1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind. 1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.

“Adina is great with communication and her reports on from the visits always give me peace of mind! She is very patient with my older dog and spends extra time with him if he doesn’t want to walk far!”
“This weekend was our first experience with Rover, and Rachel was the best person to show us the way. She and our dog, Chino, hit it off right away at the Meet and Greet that Rachel suggested. During our trip, Rachel let us know about each interaction she had during her drop-in and walk sessions. We could see when she arrived, how long they walked and the route the took. But in addition, Rachel let us know how Chino wasdoing each time, (excited, cooperative, easy on the leash, hesitant, playfully, etc.) Rachel shared lots of pix as well. This put our minds at easy that Chino was being well looked after. We will certainly have Rachel as our first choice for future pet care needs! Rachel was awesome!”

About: I’ve been taking caring of dogs since I was 8, I’ve had three of my own dogs, my current household has three dogs in total. My current household also previously had two cats I helped take care of as well. I am a very caring pet parent and treat others pets as my own. I am a full time stay at home day with my wife and I’s 20 month old daughter, but that does not stop me from taking care of pets. I have a fenced in yard for the three dogs I live with, get them exercise, plenty of water and feed them every morning and night. I can do the same for all of your pets and whatever else you request if I can accommodate it.

About: Since growing up with many different breeds of dogs, I have a lot of experience. I have pet sit and taken care of my neighbors dogs as well as other peoples dogs. I worked at a dog daycare in limerick called Dogtopia, so I have a lot of dog experience from that as well. I work a 9-5 on the weekdays and am mainly open on the weekends to help with anyone in need for dog walking or sitting! I take pet care very seriously. I love taking dogs for walks and giving them company in their homes as well. Any specific instructions you have, I will follow and make sure your dog is under good hands!
About: Hello! I love making new fur friends! I’ve been using rover for a few years now but took a break. I just started back on here and looking forward to meeting new clients! I am very dedicated to the wellbeing of animals, both mine and others. I got my first animal at age 11, lived 15 long years with me. Then, since the age of 13 I have taken care of animals that were not mine, normally for weeks at a time. I’ve bottle fed and fostered kittens. I’ve helped find homes for animals that would have otherwise been sheltered and I’ve rescued abandoned cats. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog who’s over 60lbs of muscle! I treat pets as family and would treat your animal just the same. A meet and greet is preferred so that both me and the dog are familiar with each other. If you are unsure what service to choose pick something and message me your needs so we can determine what works best and adjustments can be made :) I am willing to drive a distance depending on the service needed but please note that before confirming a booking, if the commute is long I may charge extra or have to decline. This would all be done in advance. Please keep in mind the weather when asking me to drive a long distance when say it’s icy or otherwise hazardous. Safety first :)! IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: About my schedule; I wish Rover would be more specific about time slots. I am available almost everyday at some point in the day.

“Nicola is absolutely amazing! We couldn’t ask for a better person to care for Rocky while we’re away. She is always reliable, on time, and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s well cared for. She doesn’t just walk him—she spends time playing with him, makes sure he’s fed, comfortable, and happy, and treats him like one of her own. Knowing Rocky is in Nicola’s care gives us complete peace of mind. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
About: I’m a huge dog lover!! My family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on me to help take care of their dogs while they’ve been away.

“Shiena does a fantastic job! She walked our 1 1/2 year old Australian cattle dog daily over a recent ten day period. She showed great care, drying off his paws on the days where there had been rain puddles, but allowing him to enjoy his walks. She sent daily photos with comments about his walk. Shiena was very flexible in scheduling and great at communicating with us. Our dog bonded with her and awaited her arrival with excitement! I would highly recommend Shiena to you.”

“Mary was wonderful taking care of Grady. He had a great time running around in the backyard. Grady had some special needs and Mary did a great job giving him a 2nd home”
“Had a great experience with Manu and Dhruv. Loved getting pictures and updates throughout the day, it really put me at ease. I would absolutely trust them with my dog again and for longer periods.”
“Sruthi and Abba took such wonderful care of our Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in loving hands. They kept us updated throughout the day with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. They even went the extra mile to make sure our picky little munchkin ate well, showing so much patience and genuine care. It was clear they treated Bruno like one of their own. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and will absolutely book with them again. We highly recommend Sruthi and Abba to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and caring home for their fur babies . Your furry family member will be in the best hands!”
“Meagen is your dogs home away from home. We left Charly for the first time with her in February and we have used Meagen several times since. She welcomes your pup at the front door like it is her own. Charly comes back to our home like she never left. When we are away Meagen keeps us updated with pictures and videos . I could not enjoy my time away if Charly wasn’t with Meagen and her family!!!!”
“Brandi was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving Kuma in her care. We loved all the pictures and detailed updates she sent — it meant so much to see how happy and well cared for our pup was while we were away. It was clear she truly cares and goes above and beyond. We will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive dog sitter!”

“Jean did an absolutely wonderful job in caring for our 13 year old Puggle. She sent updates and pictures during his overnight stay. Her home is VERY clean and completely set up for dog boarding. She’s not only knowledgeable about dog care but truly showed an interest in making sure our dog was comfortable and well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to request boarding with Jean in the future.”
“Finley had an amazing week! I felt totally at ease while away and knew he was being well cared for. He had room to run, and with the kids present, he got lots of playtime. I received very prompt feedback. We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog. We have found our Rover! Finley will be back!!! 🐩”

She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”

“Jennifer saved us with a last minute booking and it was a great experience for our pup. We will definitely book with her again. She kept us posted with updates and pics. Easy meet and greet because she only takes 1 animal at a time and does not have a pup, so I didn't need to worry about Sully getting along with another pup. Such a relief and peace of mind.”
“William and Kristen are true dog people- loving, caring and sensitive to your furry family member’s needs. They were prompt in getting back to us and kept us posted with pics and fun comments. Asha seemed very “at home” in the their home when I picked her up. Thx guys for treating our pup like one of your own!!”
About: My husband and absolutely love dogs. We have a loving spacious home for him to run around in. I am always watching my parents or siblings dog and it’s always a blast to do so! My husband and I both work from home, so we’re able to spend a lot of time with our dog throughout the day. We take him on walks totaling at least 2 miles every day and love getting outside with him whenever we can. We also make sure he gets plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise, and we enjoy taking him along with us on walks, errands, and adventures whenever possible. We have a large dog who has his own bedroom with a full-size bed, which he absolutely loves! We also have two dog beds downstairs so he has plenty of comfortable places to relax throughout the house. Our back porch has a long leash where he can safely spend some time outside and enjoy the fresh air. He is no in the crate, but we do have a large crate in the basement available if needed.
