About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I have been actively house sitting and caring for friends’, family’s, neighbors’, and other people’s pets. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and exercise, extra patience and reassurance, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a stay at home dog mom to my dog, Draco, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am able to take them outside frequently for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and fresh air. I love having animals around and will make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I am happy to follow whatever routine and preferences you have established for your pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I want to keep them as comfortable and consistent as possible while you are away. I am comfortable following crate training routines, feeding schedules, walking and potty schedules, medication instructions, and any other specific instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for neighbors’ animals and am comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My goal is to follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way you would!
“I couldn't have asked for a better person, or a better family to watch Stella while we were away for 11 days. When we go away again, I am 1,000% using Alexis and her family again!!! She gave daily updates, and most importantly I could tell Stella was very happy!!! More than pleased with the entire dog sitting/boarding process. Thank you to Rover, and GIANT thank you to Alexis and her family!!!! 🙏”

“Alexis was GREAT when she boarded my dog! She made us feel really comfortable with leaving our pup there over the weekend! She was really accommodating and responsive too! I would definitely bring my dog back to stay with Alexis.”
“Tania and her family took amazing care of our Mac! We didn’t worry once during our time away, as we knew he was in great hands. Tania is a great communicator, and sent us many pictures of our baby throughout the weekend. When we got there to pick him up, he was in no rush to leave. What a great feeling!”
“Becky is truly the best pet and most caring sitter ever! She knows exactly what Mel needs—whether it’s a walk, a treat, a toy, or just some love and attention. She keeps us updated daily with texts, videos, and photos, which we absolutely adore. Seeing Mel happy and relaxed, especially when she’s interacting with Becky’s lovely family and her adorable cats, Baby and Foles, makes us so happy. Every time we need a sitter, Becky is our first (and only!) choice. Mel will be going back to her any time we’re away. She’s simply the best!”
“Angelita provided the undivided, fulltime attention that Ian (and most labs) expect and sometimes demand! She was prompt with responses to my questions, followed the instructions to comply with Ian's schedule and gave Ian all the affection that he's accustomed to. I'm pretty sure that he would have enjoyed staying with Angelita a little longer. We're looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“WONDERFUL! Communicates well, welcomed us with open arms. Lauren makes me feel safe knowing shes caring for my dog. She sends pictures and is flexible with visitation. Always my go to gal for when momma needs a break now lol.”
“Our dog Henry stayed with Betsy and Ron for 6 days June 2026. They were fantastic in every way. Very friendly and interested in making sure Henry (and my wife and I) were completely comfortable with the arrangement during our vacation. We received frequent text updates with pictures which we truly appreciated. We would gladly book with them again in the future.”

About: Hours of availability on the weekends, Friday 5pm-Sun 9pm. Possibly before 5 on fridays depending on location. I Love dogs, and have had 3 jack Russell terriers and 2 German short haired pointers and now 2 Labrador retrievers. I want to make it easy for pet owners to do things and not have to worry about their pet. I have also been in charge of the grooming(nails,bathing etc) since I was young. I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.
About: As a teacher and lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust someone with the animals you love. I provide dependable, loving care and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family whether it’s walks playtime or cuddles I’ll make sure your pets feel safe happy and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of childhood dogs since I was 12. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with all sorts of animals growing up. I would be able to care for pets during the weekends and after 430pm weekdays. It is a great way not only to bond with animals but also get my daily exercise in. In a clients home, I would be able to feed the dog, play with it, and take it on walks like it was my own animal. For walking, I would make sure they enjoyed themselves, and add some play time in as well to make it more rewarding for the animal.

“Holly had her very first visit with a pet sitter. She is nine years old. My wife and I chose Amy and Patrick M and were very pleased with our choice.Amy reviewed Holly’s habits with us prior to the visit. Although she had a little separation anxiety, Holly was fine throughout her stay. We plan on using Amy and Patrick M again whenever a pet sitter is needed.”
About: Animals have always been my world. As an only child, my pets were my very first best friends, teaching me early on how deep the bond between humans and animals truly is. For 35 of my 40 years, I have never been without a furry companion.Aside from being a happy wife of 25 years, my absolute biggest joy in life was raising my three daughters alongside a constant, loving flock of family pets. Now that my girls are all adults, I am dedicating my time and heart to expanding my pet care circle.Over decades of pet ownership, I have developed a deep expertise in handling a wide variety of animal personalities, ages, and medical needs. I am equally skilled at engaging in high-energy playtime with energetic pups as I am providing the patient, specialized care that senior pets and puppies require.This expertise comes from a very personal place. I am the proud pet parent of a handsome Pomchi who manages IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). Caring for his unique daily needs has given me specialized, hands-on experience in medical management, gentle handling, and strict care routines. I understand how to read an animal’s body language, adapt to different temperaments, and provide a safe, tailored environment for pets who require an extra-gentle touch.Honestly, if you ask my family, they might tell you I sometimes love pets more than humans—and they might be right! Cats and dogs offer a pure, uncomplicated love, and I mirror that right back to them. I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies with someone else. When your dogs or cats are with me, they become a true extension of our family, receiving the exact same unconditional love, professional attentiveness, and spoiling that my own pets enjoy. Because my children are grown, my days are completely open and focused on the home. I do work full-time remotely, but my job provides immense flexibility. I am not tied to a rigid desk setup; rather, my schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice to tend to animal needs, monitor playtime, or provide constant, frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my workday.My days are naturally structured around consistent, high-quality care:Morning Structure: Early morning potty breaks, fresh water refills, and structured breakfast times. This is also when I administer any morning medications or specific physical therapy routines before I log into work.Active & Attentive Afternoons: While I work, your pet is right by my side. Mid-day is reserved for tailored care. For high-energy guests, that means dedicated backyard playtime and quick brain games between my tasks. For puppies, seniors, or special-needs pets like my IVDD Pomchi, this time is focused on gentle companionship, scheduled rest, and closely supervised, frequent potty intervals.Evening Wind-Down: A reliable dinner schedule followed by relaxing, low-stress evening cuddles. I perform thorough wellness and comfort checks on all animals before bedtime.Since I manage a strict care routine for my own pup while working, I am incredibly time-disciplined. Whether your pet needs a yard break every hour, strict medication intervals, or just a constant, reassuring human presence while you are away, my remote work setup gives me the perfect flexibility to provide it. Because I work full-time remotely with excellent schedule flexibility, my care philosophy is centered on constant supervision, emotional comfort, and strict routine adherence—whether your pet is staying under my roof or I am visiting yours.Here is how I tailor my care to each environment:🏡 In My Home (Boarding & Daycare)Spacious Outdoor Areas: I am fortunate to have a large front and backyard, giving your pets plenty of secure outdoor space to sniff, stretch their legs, and burn off energy throughout the day.A Safe Environment: Inside, my home is set up to handle a variety of animal needs. Because I care for my own handsome Pomchi with IVDD, my space is highly optimized for safety, gentle movement, and comfort.Constant Companionship: Since I work from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. They will spend the day right by my side, enjoying free reign of the common areas, frequent lap snugs, or resting comfortably in a designated quiet space.Frequent Potty & Play Breaks: My flexible schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice. High-energy dogs get frequent, supervised yard play sessions, while puppies or seniors get the constant, hourly potty breaks they require.🚗 In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-In Visits)Respecting Their Safe Space: I understand that many pets (especially cats or senior dogs) feel most secure in their own environment. When I care for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their exact comfort zones, favorite sleeping spots, and hidden nooks.Flawless Routine Replication: I treat your house rules as law. I map out your exact feeding times, specific walking routes, and medication schedules. Because I am used to managing strict medical and physical routines for my own dog, you can trust that your pet's schedule will not miss a beat.Remote Work Mobility: For overnight house sitting, I bring my remote work setup with me. This means your pet still gets the benefit of a constant human presence, mid-day companionship, and frequent attention without me having to leave them alone for an 8-hour workday.Home Security & Updates: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure. You will receive consistent updates, detailed notes, and plenty of photos so you have total peace of mind while you are away.
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs especially my own and they love me and I love them. I just love them so much. I always fall in love and they fall in love with me. It never fails. I’m currently working full time but my schedule allows me to still make time to do other things like enjoy a second job which is good I love to cuddle and play with the babies, love to feed and rub them and even talk to them. They are the best ever
“Krista has dropped in and taken care of our dog and also our dog has done doggy daycare with her- both were great experiences! Krista is dependable and sent frequent check ups. Will definitely book with her again!”

“After spending over 6 hours with Gwendoline, my super playful German Shepherd who sleeps with one eye open at all times in the event someone tosses a tennis ball, was Knocked. Out. in the back seat of the car for most of the ride home. We were visiting the area for the day so it was a three hour trip! Suffice it to say, he had a full and busy day even though it was raining outside! A tired dog is a happy dog. Thanks, Gwendoline, for taking such loving care of my Shermie!”
“Our pup Josie is working on separation anxiety and Mai was willing to work with us. We were hopeful and it turned out great! It takes a special person with patience, love and a gentleness to care for animals and Mai is just. Not worrying when we are away is a really good feeling and we are very grateful that we have met Mai!”
“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.”
“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.”

About: I was raised as a child with pets - fish, cats and of course dogs. Growing up we had 2 Irish Setters a Chihuahua and multiple cats. As an adult I started off with just having multiple cats and then began to have dogs enter my life again. I had a very loving Pit Bull for a short period of time and a few years later I adopted a Boston Terrier who is now 13 years old. In addition to my senior dog, I now also have a 1 ½ year old Boston and 1 senior cat. I never had children so these are my kids and my extended family. I do everything I can to ensure they have a loving home and are well cared for and I will do the same for your four-legged kids :) With a lot of patience I have been able to do a few simple commands with my dogs. I have experience with potty training a puppy and also have extensive experience with senior dogs as my senior is currently half blind, has incontinence issues (at times) and has trouble walking. I currently can be home during the day and am usually home in the evenings and on weekends. When I know im pet sitting i stay home so my focus is on your pet. I spend a lot of time playing, walking and giving love to my pets. I will do the same for yours. I have a large unfenced yard but also have a dog park nearby that i utilize. My pets are on a regualr feeding schedule and I will adhere to any directions or special needs you may have,

About: For the past 18 years, I’ve been a trusted pet sitter and dog walker for family, friends, coworkers, and employers. Today, my husband and I share our home with two cats and an axolotl. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for animals of all ages and needs, including puppies and kittens, senior pets, animals recovering from illness, and those with special physical, emotional, or dietary requirements. Much of this experience comes from caring for my own pets as well as the pets of others. If I am not confident that I can meet your pets needs based on your request I will let you know promptly so you can reach out to another pet sitter who can provide the care your pet needs. I believe animals enrich our lives with unconditional love, companionship, and joy. When they’re in my care, I strive to provide that same level of love, attention, patience, and respect in return. Pet care fits easily into my current daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am able to accommodate a variety of schedules and routines and can plan my day around the needs of each pet. This flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care rather than trying to fit pet care around a busy work schedule. When I first meet a pet, I like to let them approach me at their own pace and take time to build trust. I understand that being separated from their people and meeting someone new can be stressful, so I focus on maintaining their familiar routines and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, needs, routines, and favorite activities so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and happy while their family is away. I also remain attentive to potential hazards and take steps to keep pets safe in their home. I am careful to follow owners instructions for pet care and rules of the home to make sure everyone is safe. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel most comfortable and content. For a pets comfort, I do my best keep their routine and environment as consistent as consistent as possible in the absence of their owners.

When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep everything familiar and comfortable—just like you never left. I stick to your pet’s routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or favorite spots for naps. I keep things clean, calm, and fun, and I always give updates so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.
About: Hours of availability on the weekends, Friday 5pm-Sun 9pm. Possibly before 5 on fridays depending on location. I Love dogs, and have had 3 jack Russell terriers and 2 German short haired pointers and now 2 Labrador retrievers. I want to make it easy for pet owners to do things and not have to worry about their pet. I have also been in charge of the grooming(nails,bathing etc) since I was young. I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.
About: Hello! My name is Danielle Martin. I have a master's degree in School Psychology from Millersville University and I work at a local school district. In my spare time, I enjoy being outside, cooking, and of course, spending time with all the doggos! I currently have a 6-year-old Bernese Mountain Mix, named Ryker, who I adopted in May 2020. Best quarantine decision ever! Previously, I have owned two Great Danes, so I have experience with large breeds. As a dog sitter, I aim to spend as much time with your dogs as possible, so that their time spent away from you is a pleasant one. If the dogs are up for it, I love taking them on walks and hikes, playing with their favorite toy together, and of course, snuggling and relaxing together. Since starting with Rover, I have met so many amazing pups of all ages and sizes. I also have experience with cats, small pets, birds, and reptiles! I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I am currently not working for the summer (one of the perks of being in public education!), which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I am not providing in-home sitting at this time. When at a clients home, I am respectful of the property and aim to leave the home in the same (or better) condition as when I arrived.
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I have been actively house sitting and caring for friends’, family’s, neighbors’, and other people’s pets. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and exercise, extra patience and reassurance, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a stay at home dog mom to my dog, Draco, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am able to take them outside frequently for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and fresh air. I love having animals around and will make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I am happy to follow whatever routine and preferences you have established for your pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I want to keep them as comfortable and consistent as possible while you are away. I am comfortable following crate training routines, feeding schedules, walking and potty schedules, medication instructions, and any other specific instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for neighbors’ animals and am comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My goal is to follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way you would!
“Kianna is very professional and has accepted last minute walks for my dogs. She even goes the extra mile by helping me to complete the request in the app when I experienced difficulty. She is very trustworthy and will take good care of your dogs.”
About: I have been around cats and dogs all my life. I just love all animals. Dog walking is great for their physical and mental health/improves their joints, and all around good therapy for me and your pet. Play time is also important. I will treat your furry family member with the utmost care & diligence. I am responsible, attentive, & detail oriented and will provide quality services. Currently available during the day. Just about anyday with a little notice. Can set up regular scheduled walk times. Or if you are in a bind, and need, on spur of notice. I am willing to walk from your home, or to a near by park. Giving attention and time. I typically like to know if they have a specific diet, medications, preferences, etc.
“We used Mya for a month to help with our working line German Shepherd puppy during my third trimester. Mya was incredibly helpful and knowledgable, and always did more than we asked. She is such a sweetheart and we are so grateful for her!!”
About: ✨HE/HIM/THEY✨🏳️⚧️✨ I love dogs (and other fur babies) more than anything and I put in 110% to make sure your pet/dog is properly cared for. I've had 5 dogs and had a little dog named Eric (rip) and I've raised and trained him since he was a puppy. I have some vet experience and I've worked at a pet resort so I've been with all kinds of dogs imaginable and I've given them their meds and anything special they need. I've also worked with cats, rats, birds, and fish. ✨Pet CPR Certified✨ *Due to surging gas prices and an attempt to keep prices low for clients I will limit where I’m willing to drive, thank you so much!!*🐶✨ Current Pets: Ember (Shiba-Inu), Aspen (Chow-mix), Quails, 4 cats (Fig, Pancake, Cheddar, Dough)! I work full time, 8hrs at most so your pet would be out with my wife or if they’re crate trained they may be in their crate as my wife works from home, but other than that when I’m home we play in our fenced yard and go for walks! I have a fenced in yard and the pups are kennel trained so if we go out they stay in their houses til we get back. Whatever rules you have for your place, I will follow to the T ☺️
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs especially my own and they love me and I love them. I just love them so much. I always fall in love and they fall in love with me. It never fails. I’m currently working full time but my schedule allows me to still make time to do other things like enjoy a second job which is good I love to cuddle and play with the babies, love to feed and rub them and even talk to them. They are the best ever

“I couldn't have asked for a better person, or a better family to watch Stella while we were away for 11 days. When we go away again, I am 1,000% using Alexis and her family again!!! She gave daily updates, and most importantly I could tell Stella was very happy!!! More than pleased with the entire dog sitting/boarding process. Thank you to Rover, and GIANT thank you to Alexis and her family!!!! 🙏”
“Genalind and the whole family were great with my dogs.. will definitely book with her again. Great pictures and keeping me posted with my dogs all day.. We loved that.. thank you so much”
“Alexis was GREAT when she boarded my dog! She made us feel really comfortable with leaving our pup there over the weekend! She was really accommodating and responsive too! I would definitely bring my dog back to stay with Alexis.”
“Becky is truly the best pet and most caring sitter ever! She knows exactly what Mel needs—whether it’s a walk, a treat, a toy, or just some love and attention. She keeps us updated daily with texts, videos, and photos, which we absolutely adore. Seeing Mel happy and relaxed, especially when she’s interacting with Becky’s lovely family and her adorable cats, Baby and Foles, makes us so happy. Every time we need a sitter, Becky is our first (and only!) choice. Mel will be going back to her any time we’re away. She’s simply the best!”
“Angelita provided the undivided, fulltime attention that Ian (and most labs) expect and sometimes demand! She was prompt with responses to my questions, followed the instructions to comply with Ian's schedule and gave Ian all the affection that he's accustomed to. I'm pretty sure that he would have enjoyed staying with Angelita a little longer. We're looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“WONDERFUL! Communicates well, welcomed us with open arms. Lauren makes me feel safe knowing shes caring for my dog. She sends pictures and is flexible with visitation. Always my go to gal for when momma needs a break now lol.”
“Our dog Henry stayed with Betsy and Ron for 6 days June 2026. They were fantastic in every way. Very friendly and interested in making sure Henry (and my wife and I) were completely comfortable with the arrangement during our vacation. We received frequent text updates with pictures which we truly appreciated. We would gladly book with them again in the future.”
“Billie provided exceptional communication throughout my dog’s stay, particularly when handling an unexpected marking issue. She sent detailed updates about my dog’s behavior and daily activities, which proved especially valuable when the unusual marking behavior began. Since my dog had never exhibited this behavior before, the sitter’s thorough observations and frequent updates helped us quickly determine that a vet visit was necessary. What impressed me most was her attentiveness and detailed documentation of my dog’s behavior changes. She sent regular photos and updates, activity levels, and any concerning changes. When the marking incident occurred, she immediately reached out and provided clear information about the situation.”
“I booked a very last minute week of overnight boarding for my 6 month old puppy Puck. D and B were both great and clearly well versed in puppy training issues. Nice family home. Puck even got to sleep with their 11 child every night! They sent photos daily with updates and accommodated my schedule changing for his drop off and pickup. I will definitely be using them again.”
