About: Hi! My name is Vera, and caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. When your dog stays with me, they’ll become part of the family not just another pet. I provide a calm, clean, loving home where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of one on one attention. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I live in a beautiful, quiet, dog friendly community with plenty of sidewalks, walking paths, and green spaces. I love taking dogs on regular walks so they can get fresh air, exercise, and enjoy exploring the neighborhood safely on a leash. What you can expect: 🐾 A safe, loving home environment 🐾 Multiple walks and potty breaks throughout the day 🐾 Plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship 🐾 Care tailored to your dog’s routine, diet, and any special needs 🐾 Daily photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pet with the same kindness, patience, and love that I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog a home away from home! 🐶❤️ I’m available throughout the week and can provide your dog with plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and daily walks. I keep a flexible schedule, allowing me to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet, pet friendly community with beautiful sidewalks and walking paths that are perfect for safe, leashed walks. I provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. My goal is to create a calm, clean, loving environment where every dog feels like part of the family. I also send regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
About: Hey there! I am a young professional with a passion for animal rescue. I have been involved in animal welfare all my life, and am currently a foster for a local rescue. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and abilities. Nothing scares me! Whether it’s a running buddy or a couch cuddle you are looking for, I can provide whatever is needed for your fur baby. Currently I am offering boarding only. I have experience with physical therapy, oral medications and injections, incontinence, and anything else for special needs pups. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your babies are loved while you are away. I work hybrid, so am able to provide multiple play/potty breaks throughout the day! I have 1 office day, but can sometimes drop by at lunch. While I am gone, pups are crated or kept in separate areas to ensure everyone’s safety. Between fostering, dog sitting, and my own dog, my life revolves around animals. Your fur baby will be well loved and well cared for no matter what. I have a large fenced in yard, and a rescue dog and cat of my own. If you bring your dog over to my home, they will have free roam of the house if they’d like! I will intro them to the current pack that is living there, and find their “play group”. I understand not all dogs get along with each other (they don’t need to!) and so if needed provide separate play groups that rotate so everyone can be safe and comfortable. If your pup needs some time to adjust, my guest room is considered the “dog room” in my house. There are crates, toys, couches, blankets, and a separate decompression area should they need that. I understand dog behaviors well, and have a very adaptable home to whatever your babies may need!
“Alyssa was wonderful, we had apprehensions when first booking but her reviews were so positive. Our girls just loved her and enjoyed getting belly rubs and going on the walks with her children. She sent updates and pictures and we could see they were being well taken care of. Will definitely book with her again when needed.”
“Megan and Vitaliy were really great. They sent us lots of video and pictures. Our dogs loved running around in their huge backyard. We will definitely use them in the future!”
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
“Cassandra took great care of our dog over the Christmas holiday! Hazel doesn’t always eat much while she is staying at someone’s house (regardless of who it is), so Cassandra kept us updated when she was or wasn’t eating - and eventually Hazel did settle in to better eating habits! Her concern and attention was really appreciated. Hazel also gets an allergy pill twice a day which Cassandra kept up with too. Thank you for caring for our dog!”
“Melody took excellent care of our Ziggy! Ziggy was very hapoy hanging out with Melody. Ziggy is content to have interesting walks, to eat all her food and snacks and to sleep. Melody did well with all of that. I would highly recommend her. 🙂”
“Our dog Pippa was very happy to spend the weekend with Samantha! I appreciate that Samantha takes some time to introduce dogs as Pippa can sometimes be nervous. And she was okay with managing Pippa’s food obsession and counter surfing. Glad to have a new local sitter we can use!”
“I’m so happy I found Kristin to watch my girl. She took great care of her and was extremely communicative. My dog is a very anxious girl but Kristin was patient and and kind to her. Will definitely have Kristin watch her again.”
“Vicky is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her. She asked lots of great questions to get to know Daisy and her routines before meeting her. During the stay Vicky shared pictures and videos to keep me updated. The communications let me know Daisy was being well cared for and having a wonderful stay.”
“This was my first time leaving Micah with someone. It was great. Micah left with Angelita as if she'd known him forever. I really liked that. Angelita now has another client! Thanks, Angelita.”
“Julie, her husband Tim, and their doggy Meeko were such amazing hosts to our pup! We were in Lancaster from out of state for our wedding weekend, and these folks put us so much at ease. All of the updates showed how happy Chubs was - or also how tired he was from getting so much play and love all day! Thank you Julie and Tim!!!!”
“This was Arthur's second stay with Betsy and Ron. We were able to really enjoy our time away and relax because we knew he was being well taken care of while we were gone, and got a picture or two most days showing him having a good time. We so appreciate the great care and attention he received! Thanks Betsy and Ron - you're the best!”
“Michael was very accommodating regarding booking my pup’s stay being that it was somewhat last minute. This was the first time I had booked with Michael, and everything was great. He was very attentive and communicated with me throughout the three-day stay. He did Pup Painting with her, and she came home with her masterpiece! I know my baby was taking care of, and I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Great at communicating & sending daily pictures. Also made me feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her family. Had a great plan to introduce our dog to her home & her dogs. Definitely would use again if needed.”

“The best sitter we could ask for. Our cat, Bruce, was sick while we were out of town and Bethany went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed to feel better. An angel.”
“I felt confident that my cats were in good hands when we went away. My girls are older and have medical needs, so finding someone who can handle that is important. My girls also warmed to her immediately on the meet and greet! She is very personable, professional, and great with animals. Will definitely be working with her again!”
“Lila was wonderful, thoughtful and gentle with Sparky. We came home and he was happy and we felt that he was well taken care of. The daily check ins were fun and we felt comfortable and relaxed that he was with a kind and compassionate person. Thank you again for all you did.”
“Myra did a great job dropping in and making sure Zuko got the attention he needs. Zuko had an accident at one point and Myra did her best cleaning and rinsing him off in the downstairs shower, which we very much appreciated. Zuko is a super picky eater and very particular with whom he receives care, but he seems to get along well with Myra based on the photos from their time together. Overall, we’re very pleased with her care and accommodations.”
“Stephen is kind, prompt and really seemed to care about my aging dog Max. He had to give him an injection and several medication’s each visit. As long as you give him good instructions he’ll follow them to the “T”. Highly recommended.”
“Lauren eased all my worries about leaving my baby alone for a long weekend knowing he would be well checked in on. She was fabulous with communication and followed my not so simple (haha) automatic food timer directions to be sure he was fed properly the remaining days until I got home. Will definitely be reach out to her again in the future!”
“Kat is fantastic! My two very shy cats loved Kat; she kindly spent time with both of them during each drop in visit we scheduled for 5 consecutive days and provided us with daily pics/updates. I highly recommend Kat for any pet sitting or walking needs. Thanks, Kat!”
“Rachel was fantastic. Entirely reliable. She sent tons of pictures of Callie while we were gone and completely followed through on all of our discussed arrangements. I highly recommend and will happily and gratefully call on her kindness and care again in the future.”
“Kailyn took very good care of our two precious cats while we were away. She sent us LOTS of photos every day. Honestly, we’re not sure what was cuter – – the pictures of our kitties, or the fact that Kailyn took so many! Thanks, Kailyn and Rover!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have had who I call my “soul cat” my entire adult life. I don’t believe in the “cats are low maintenance they don’t need as much attention” trope at all. I wait on my cats hand and foot and have experience with all sorts of cats. I used to live on a farm and many injured stray cats showed up to our house that my mom and I nursed back to health- she still has them all! I also have experience with special needs cats, my sister who’s cats I often babysit have feline asthma and heart conditions so I have experience with anything from administering inhalers to pills to injections if needed.
About: Ive taken care of cats when people go on vacation. Even though they are less maintenance then dogs I am very responsible at taken care of cleaning the liter box and feeding them. I’ve always had cats and dogs growing up so animals have been my passion
“Jordan is great to work with. She is reliable, knowledgeable about doggies and cares about my Luna. She is great communicating with me as she responds quick and keep me updated with her notes and pictures. I’ll continue to schedule Jordan to take care of Luna on a weekly basis.”
About: I always had large dogs growing up and currently am a cat mom to 3 cute kitties- they are my world. I am a super caring, loving, and organized person who is loves pet sitting. I have 3 years experience dog sitting in my neighborhood back home. I have stayed at client's houses for up to two weeks watching their pets and homes.

I take their safety and health very seriously and make sure they are happy and loved at all times!

“Our terrier mix puppy has been going to Grace’s for a few weeks now (2x weekly for a full work day) and I can’t say enough good things! My husband and I found Grace because on the days my husband can’t come home during lunch, we didn’t want our puppy to be crated or left unattended all day. Grace and her family treat our puppy like their own dog, she becomes part of their family while she’s there. She gets tons of playtime, attention, affection. I absolutely love seeing the “report card” pictures after each day. It’s very clear my puppy is well cared for during her visits. It’s now to the point when we’re pulling up to Grace’s, our puppy gets excited because she knows where she’s at! 10/10 recommend!”
“Karen provided excellent care for my daughter’s dog Pippin! Pippin can be anxious but she was right at home with Karen and her dogs. Karen sent us lots of pictures and updates and was an overall outstanding dog sitter!”
“Great sitters for our dog Meadow who tends to have a little separation anxiety. She felt very comfortable and at home there. I would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Megan and Vitaliy are true dog lovers. They take care of my two boys as if they were their own. When my puppy wouldn’t eat, Megan hand fed him to ensure he ate for the day. I love that they can run around outside in their huge fenced in yard…. And because their dogs, Clover and Cooper are also small like my boys, they are supervised outside at all times due to the hawks in the area. My boys come home tired from playing and having so much fun. I would recommend Megan and Vitaliy to anyone for the care they provide.”

Overall, I love every type of animal, and even though I do not have a dog of my own currently, I hope to add a furry friend to my family shortly after I grow my family. :)
“She was wonderful with our two dogs. She offered to make our dog, who had a belly ache, some broth. She sent pictures throughout the day. Overall great experience.”
“Angelita was super friendly, energetic, positive, and welcoming this week. Our dogs were happy to get to her place and begin exploring every morning. Thank you, Angelita, for five great days!”

“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“Olivia is amazing! She is very reliable, flexible with scheduling, and great with communication. She clearly loves animals and has been so great with my puppy—he is very anxious around people but loves Olivia! Highly recommend her for walks and sitting!”
“Rex had such an amazing time with Mai, he seemed like he didn't want to go home when I came to pick him up! 😂 We can tell that Mai's place will be Rex's new home away from home and that they'll be the best of friends!”
“New favorite sitter! Our boxer can be very anxious, especially her first few times somewhere. Arfel took such wonderful care of her and shared lots of pictures and updates. Ive never felt more comfortable leaving my dog somewhere before. We did a meet and greet before to ensure the dogs all got along. They have a huge fenced in back yard and deck. Highly recommend!”

“Emily made my dog Bailey and my cat Rosie feel right at home when we were displaced after a fire at our house. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the days of Bailey curled up with her on the chair while Emily worked from home, and looking so happy when they headed outside! Knowing that my fur-kids were being well cared for allowed me to focus on other matters I had to attend to. I 100% recommend Emily and will be happy to book with her in the future if I need a place for my pets to stay. <3”
“My dog spent a day with Gwendoline in advance of an overnight stay in the near future. Wow! I've used Rover several times for daycare and boarding and this was by far the best setup and experience as a pet owner!

Although leaving my pet is really hard, I feel like he will be really well cared for with Gwendoline!”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, I was the kid who wanted to meet every pet I came across, and that passion has only grown into adulthood. Along with having my own two dogs and cat, I've spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, treating each one as if they were my own. I also worked as a stablehand at a local farm, where I cared for a wide variety of animals—including cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, cows, and even swans. I've also volunteered with dog walking programs in the city, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion with someone new. That's why my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe communication, reliability, and attention to detail are incredibly important when caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

Whether I'm stopping by for visits, going on walks, or caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course provide plenty of attention and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Hi, I’m Matt! Throughout middle school and high school, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, providing care to various dogs. I’ve dog sat for a few people I know personally, providing drop in visits, overnight care and walks. Additionally, I've grown up with dogs, and we currently have three of our own who I’m with every day and love very much. I’m a college student (currently on break from classes) who works part time, so my availability is built around this. This means my week to week availability may not always look the same, but I will leave my schedule open for Rover whenever I can, ensuring I provide your dog with proper care. When caring for your dog in your home, they will always be safe and sound. For drop in visits, I will make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine to ensure their comfort. For walks, I will follow your dog’s pace, while always keeping my hand through the loop of the leash and wrapped around my wrist to keep them secure.
About: I have been working in the veterinary field for over 6 years now and currently a veterinary technician at a hospital for 5 years. Animals are the only thing that make me genuinely happy and excited about my day! I take care of every animal I’ve ever had with love and affection. I’m constantly watching over them, playing with them, letting them go potty, making sure their food/water is up to date, and snuggling with them. If you let me watch your dog I can promise you I will take the absolute best care of him or her! They will always be safe under my watch and I can send pictures/videos to you whenever you would like, I’ll always have my phone on me when they are with me so I can keep you updated on all the fun! Side note: I work two days a week from 7-5. I’m also able to administer medication, know CPR, and have access to a veterinary clinic. I’m currently a part time vet tech and full time stay at home mom ( I work two weekdays from 7-5 but I have people at home that can let animals out to potty if need be) I make sure pets have food and water available to your schedule. I can administer medication and I’m fine with crate training or fee roam of the house!
About: I always had large dogs growing up and currently am a cat mom to 3 cute kitties- they are my world. I am a super caring, loving, and organized person who is loves pet sitting. I have 3 years experience dog sitting in my neighborhood back home. I have stayed at client's houses for up to two weeks watching their pets and homes. I work full time but am mostly remote so I can leave throughout the day or bring my laptop to places that have Wi-Fi access. I am very flexible My 3 cats are indoor cats only. I take their safety and health very seriously and make sure they are happy and loved at all times!
About: When I was 8 my father surprised me with our first ever dog Harley! I fell in love instantly and am so grateful to have grown up with him in our family. When I grew older I took on more rolls taking care of Harley which gave me basic experience in pet care. When he was a senior dog I learned a lot through his medical issues like how to handle medicine and emergency vet visits. Our late dog, Dobby gave me puppy experience showing me how much time, care, and patience is needed for little pups. Anything you need for your dog I’m willing to do! Im a part time college student who also works part time as a server! This opportunity seems like something that could perfectly for my unusual schedule. Dog walking and quick house stop-ins would be my speciality! House sitting and at home sitting is something that would be most easiest if done with a notice in advance:) With the years of experience you can trust me with your home and your pets! I’m a college girl looking for an opportunity that benefits both parties, it’s just a bonus that I love animals! In my care, you and your pets have absolutely nothing to worry about.

About: Hi! My name is Vera, and caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hey there! I am a young professional with a passion for animal rescue. I have been involved in animal welfare all my life, and am currently a foster for a local rescue. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and abilities. Nothing scares me! Whether it’s a running buddy or a couch cuddle you are looking for, I can provide whatever is needed for your fur baby. Currently I am offering boarding only. I have experience with physical therapy, oral medications and injections, incontinence, and anything else for special needs pups. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your babies are loved while you are away. I work hybrid, so am able to provide multiple play/potty breaks throughout the day! I have 1 office day, but can sometimes drop by at lunch. While I am gone, pups are crated or kept in separate areas to ensure everyone’s safety. Between fostering, dog sitting, and my own dog, my life revolves around animals. Your fur baby will be well loved and well cared for no matter what. I have a large fenced in yard, and a rescue dog and cat of my own. If you bring your dog over to my home, they will have free roam of the house if they’d like! I will intro them to the current pack that is living there, and find their “play group”. I understand not all dogs get along with each other (they don’t need to!) and so if needed provide separate play groups that rotate so everyone can be safe and comfortable. If your pup needs some time to adjust, my guest room is considered the “dog room” in my house. There are crates, toys, couches, blankets, and a separate decompression area should they need that. I understand dog behaviors well, and have a very adaptable home to whatever your babies may need!
“Alyssa was wonderful, we had apprehensions when first booking but her reviews were so positive. Our girls just loved her and enjoyed getting belly rubs and going on the walks with her children. She sent updates and pictures and we could see they were being well taken care of. Will definitely book with her again when needed.”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
“Cassandra took great care of our dog over the Christmas holiday! Hazel doesn’t always eat much while she is staying at someone’s house (regardless of who it is), so Cassandra kept us updated when she was or wasn’t eating - and eventually Hazel did settle in to better eating habits! Her concern and attention was really appreciated. Hazel also gets an allergy pill twice a day which Cassandra kept up with too. Thank you for caring for our dog!”
“Our dog Pippa was very happy to spend the weekend with Samantha! I appreciate that Samantha takes some time to introduce dogs as Pippa can sometimes be nervous. And she was okay with managing Pippa’s food obsession and counter surfing. Glad to have a new local sitter we can use!”
“I’m so happy I found Kristin to watch my girl. She took great care of her and was extremely communicative. My dog is a very anxious girl but Kristin was patient and and kind to her. Will definitely have Kristin watch her again.”
“Vicky is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her. She asked lots of great questions to get to know Daisy and her routines before meeting her. During the stay Vicky shared pictures and videos to keep me updated. The communications let me know Daisy was being well cared for and having a wonderful stay.”
“This was my first time leaving Micah with someone. It was great. Micah left with Angelita as if she'd known him forever. I really liked that. Angelita now has another client! Thanks, Angelita.”
“Julie, her husband Tim, and their doggy Meeko were such amazing hosts to our pup! We were in Lancaster from out of state for our wedding weekend, and these folks put us so much at ease. All of the updates showed how happy Chubs was - or also how tired he was from getting so much play and love all day! Thank you Julie and Tim!!!!”
“This was Arthur's second stay with Betsy and Ron. We were able to really enjoy our time away and relax because we knew he was being well taken care of while we were gone, and got a picture or two most days showing him having a good time. We so appreciate the great care and attention he received! Thanks Betsy and Ron - you're the best!”
“Great at communicating & sending daily pictures. Also made me feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her family. Had a great plan to introduce our dog to her home & her dogs. Definitely would use again if needed.”

I have had several pets of my own and love all animals. For grooming I can clip hair, brush teeth, trim nails, and check basic health of animals. I know all basic animal training and can work on a multitude of things with your pets; ranging from standard things like sit, stay, lay, to more advanced things like crawl, speak, spin and other fun tricks. In addition to cats and dogs I have worked with birds, horses, camels, rats, pigs, cows and skunks. I have a lot of experience in training, healthcare, and grooming.
“We are lucky our pup wanted to come home with us after staying with Sam & her family! It’s so comforting to have such true dog lovers look after your crazy family member in your absence. Thanks again, Sam.. our girl snored so loud last night!”
“Jenna was fantastic, flexible, and fluid in all communication. We were in a pinch from out of state and she responded immediately, was willing to do a meet prior to ensure it was all ok and coordinated with multiple people in my family for drop offs and pick ups throughout the long weekend. She sent pics consistently with context and updates and you could see how at home our sweet Geti girl became after settling in. She really observed Geti to ensure she was as comfortable as possible and gave her all the cuddles. Geti was able to go freely in and outside and relax by the window. We would recommend Jenna to anyone needing some pup sitting or care!”
“D was a great dog sitter and our boy Dyson came home utterly exhausted from running and playing so much. She took time to figure out his particular needs and personality and made sure he felt comfortable and safe. He most certainly did! Great updates and videos! Can't wait to send him to D's farm again, lots of stimulation, he had no time to miss us.”
“They were amazing, gave updates throughout the time my Rose was there. My dog is a rescue so she has anxiety issues but they cared for her needs very well. Will definitely be using them more often.”
“Lori was fantastic! She was able to take Colby last minute, and it worked out perfectly. Lori was so sweet and I know that Colby was lovingly cared for. She sent us pictures and stayed in touch.”
