“Michaela and her husband were such kind people to my pup! I dropped off a happy dog and returned with an even happier one! Definitely will be coming to them again when I need someone to watch her.”
“Our family was so fortunate to be introduced to Crystal and we felt comfortable from the start! Not only does Bo love her, but it is apparent how much she loves him and wants the best for him as well.”
About: I've been pet sitting since i was 13, I am currently 19 with a dog and cat of my own! I've taken care of seniors as-well as puppies. I've potty trained, taught tricks, and have done special care when needed. I love to go on long hikes and bring my dog with me! I go on walks about 3 times a day, as my dog is very active. Feel free to ask me questions! I would love to watch your pup. :) I'm available for pet sitting any day of the week at any times! I can handle seniors aswell as active dogs. I would love to spend time with your pup. I have one super friendly dog that loves to play and gets along great with cats. I go on 3 walks a day with my pup. She is very active and friendly. Your pup will be able to relax and also get the outside time they need. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for running around and playing.
“Stephen and his daughter were incredible - we are so glad we booked with them and will again if we need to board our cats! Even before drop-off, I needed to change the date and time twice, and Stephen was extremely accommodating and understanding. He and his daughter gave our cats lots of attention. I think they are better brushed than when they are with us. Stephen sent photos and updates twice during our 6-day trip, and I'm sure would have sent more of I had asked.”
“Heather took great care of our almost 13 year old dog. She was thorough in asking questions about Coco's needs and seemed very conscientious about making Coco feel comfortable and safe. It was such a relief to go on vacation knowing our dog was well cared for and we loved getting the photo updates every day. Communication with Heather prior to and during our vacation was excellent. We've already booked with her again.”
“Missy and Justin are always so great with our nervous Nelly. Even though Bea can be a scaredy cat, Missy and Justin welcome her in and give her her space until she comes out of her shell. She loves getting to see Finn!”
“Absolutely wonderful! Accepted my puppy on super short notice (day before). Treated my puppy as one of her own! Got lots of play time and love! Would highly recommend this sitter!”
“Wally had such a great time staying with Emily & became best friends with her son! It makes leaving him so much easier & less stressful knowing he’ll be in great hands. Thanks so much! He’ll definitely be coming to stay again in the future.”
“Rosa and her daughters cared for my Luna like she was their own. Their home was clean and orderly and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. They sent lots of videos while I was away and Luna seemed to have a great time with them and was happy and healthy when I picked her up. I was in town for a camping trip and she was very flexible with drop off and pick-up and was consistent and responsive with communication. Will definitely use her again if I’m in the area.”
About: For house sitting a drop in care: I have taken care of friends and families dogs for arounds 3 years now. They range from 10 months old to 11 years old so, I have some senior dog care experience. They range from 10 pounds to 110 pounds. My dog requires daily pill medication distribution so, if you pet requires a daily pill, I am a veteran at administering pills. I also have oral syringe medication experience. I am a doctor as well so, if a pet requires needle medication administering, I can do that as well with instructions. If you dog requires long walks, I am the person who is up for the job. If you pet would rather sit on the couch and curl up with tv shows, I am also the person for that job! For boarding care: my wife works from home Monday through Friday and has pet sitting experience. You can be sure to receive all of the care and experience as described above! We do have 1, 85 pound neutered male German Shepherd, who loves dogs, cats, and kids, so if your dog loves other dogs, especially big ones, then we are the home for you! I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, 6am to 2:30pm and am available any time after that. I am willing to stay in the pet owners home and will be home everyday after work. I am available at any time during the weekend. For boarding care: my wife works from home Monday through Friday and has pet sitting experience. You can be sure to receive all of the care and experience as described above! We do have 1, 85 pound neutered male German Shepherd, who loves dogs, cats, and kids, so if your dog loves other dogs, especially big ones, then we are the home for you! If you pet is required to go into a crate daily, I have crate experience and can safely put your pet into the crate when needed. I can walk your pet daily. If there is a feeding and/or medication schedule, I will follow the instructions given in order to ensure your pets safety and needs. I do medication distribution, litter box cleaning, walks, playing with toys and any indoor pet maintenance that you may need.
“Kayla was terrific watching our 2 dogs. We had a last minute trip and our normal boarders were not available. We had a great meet and greet and our dogs were at her house 2 days later for a long weekend. Her communication while we were away was amazing. The dogs received walks along with a nice backyard to stretch out in. I definitely will be booking her again!”
“Alexandra has walked my dog for me in the past and just boarded him for the weekend for me too. If I could give her more than five stars- I would. She’s a sweetheart and I know my dog is always safe & entertained with her. She even went above and beyond and came and picked him up for me to make things easier. She sent pictures & videos throughout the whole weekend which we loved! I’d definitely recommend her and will always use her in the future. Thanks again Alex!!! ☺️”
“Rosa & her kids show my dog nothing but love every trip. Shes accomadating even when its last minute and always sends me pics & videos of my dog. I only use her on Rover now. Thank Rosa!!”
“Late review: Dannette was wonderful with my two boys and took great care of them. They were happy, tired, and semi-excited to see me when I picked them up. I’d definitely recommend!”
“Diana was outstanding to work with. We have a 10 week old Rottweiler who is a handful and we were leaving her for the first time since adopting her. Diana was great with communication, updates and plenty of pictures. Great overall experience from start to finish.”

“Paul was wonderful! We were looking for a pet sitter last minute and he came through. Followed our instructions perfectly and sent updates including photos and videos with every drop-in visit. I could tell from the videos that my cat loved having him around. Thank you, Paul!”
About: While getting my associates in Veterinary Science I have had the opportunity to work in shelters, boarding facilities, rescues, animal hospitals, clinics, and more with cats. I have worked with cats with various health issues as well and understand their particular needs. Some of these include diabetic cats, cats with broken bones or other physical injuries with or without casts/splints, obesity, stomatitis (or other dental issues), elderly cats, and more. My passion is animals and I cannot wait to meet your fur babies!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dalmatia
About: I am a full time stay at home mom and am excited to care for your fur babies. I have been a pet sitter for over 15 years and have experience with all kinds of domestic pets as well as farm pets. Please send me a message if you have special requests or have more than one pet. I am very accommodating to your fur babies. I am very skilled with giving medicine to dogs and cats as I have to do this with my babies. I am also able to follow your feeding instructions if you raw feed your pet. We do not have a fenced in yard (yet) so your pet will be leash walked on our 5 acre land. We also have tethering, all pets are supervised at all times. I have 3 toddlers who may accompany me when visiting or taking care of your pet. If your pet is not child friendly, I may be able to work around this. I am a full time stay at home mom and am able to add your fur baby into the mix and adjust to your schedule. 🐾 Special Note on Unneutered Dogs: If you have an intact male, please reach out prior to booking as my rate for unfixed dogs is twice my standard base rate. Because my own neutered male is reactive to unneutered males, hosting an intact dog requires intensive behavioral management. I implement a strict, highly secure rotation system to ensure the dogs are never in the same space, alongside extra cleanup measures for marking behavior. Thank you for helping me keep my home safe and organized! I have a large property and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby occupied. I can easily crate your pet if need be. I am skilled with administration of medications.
“Dannah is very attentive, caring, and welcoming. I especially appreciated her ensuring proper introduction to allow the dogs to get comfortable. Dannah goes above and beyond to care for the wide range of exercise needs and health conditions of her own pack regularly and extended that to my iggi pup. Already booked again!”
“Dawn took wonderful care of our dog while we stopped at Hershey Park in the middle of a road trip. She was a great communicator, responsive, and was able to be flexible to our pick up and drop off times. Our dog had a playmate, some good human snuggles, and a walk. He loved his day at Dawn’s!”
About: Hi! My name is Kristen and I've been a true animal lover my whole life. I've grown up having animals and I have a deep love for anything furry. I'm a happily married, stay at home mom to a toddler. We recently lost our special needs senior pup of 14 years. We miss him so very much. He was my everything. I truly understand loving your pet like a child and will treat them as such. I have 7 years of experience in veterinary medicine and know how to handle most pet emergencies calmly. References are available. I am looking to start pet care full time, as animals are my passion. I have open availability but can only work with dogs, as I'm allergic to cats. I can do walks, playtime, overnight boarding in my home, or day care. Senior pets are my specialty! I am looking to transition into full time pet care, as I now have the time as a stay at home mom! I am able to provide walks several times a day, and all day attention & love. We live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, where I can walk your pet several times a day. Our senior dog recently passed away and we miss having a pet in the home tremendously, but we aren’t ready to welcome a new personal pet just yet. Animals are welcome to sleep on furniture in my home and cuddle like I would my own animal. My home is their home while they’re with us. We have a 14 month old son, so your pet needs to be comfortable around children. He is good about not touching, but he is a typical toddler and makes noise throughout the day.
“Sujeong and Changsun (and Gucci) provided such excellent care for my pup, Jobu. I was traveling for an event and they helped so much. I know he was very well cared for. They shared such cute photos too :)”
“She was amazing. My older girl has bad anxiety leaving me but she loved being with Kayla! And she was so amazing with my puppy whos still potty training and testing boundaries. In every single photo she sent they looked so happy. She was patient and kind. Shes super chill and easy to talk to / book with and she always offering a solution to fit my needs for a sitter no matter how last minute. I would 110% recommend her to anyone who needs their pups watched!!”
“Decided to try the doggie daycare and we're glad we did! Our girls were excited to get there when we pulled up to the house. Which is comforting to begin with. All I can say is THANK YOU!”
About: For over 10 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors—caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From daily walks to playtime, feeding, and bath time, I’ve handled it all with patience and love. I do rover full time and spend most of my days at home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. My home is quiet, cozy, and safe. It’s a comfortable space where your pet can feel at ease. Whether your furry friend wants a buddy for long walks or someone to snuggle up with, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I do rover full time and spend most of my time at home, I can easily fit in walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I like to start mornings with fresh food and water, followed by a walk or play session to get some energy out. Midday, I check in for more cuddles, bathroom breaks, and enrichment activities. Evenings are for winding down with another walk, a little play, and lots of affection before bedtime. Your pet won’t just get “checked in on”—they’ll be a regular part of my day. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy space, regular walks or playtime, fresh food and water, and plenty of love. In a client’s home, I stick to their normal routine—feeding, walks, play—while giving them the same care and attention they’d get if you were there.

Spring & summer tends to fill up very quick. Please give at least a month notice. I will do my best & give it my all to make sure your fur babies are safe & taken care of! I like to keep your pet/pets on the same schedule as you have them on. Consistency is very important. This is my only line of work. So I'm available pretty much anytime.

I want them to feel safe & make you feel at ease about going away.
About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me
About: I run a music teaching business as well as am a commercial pilot and flight instructor. I grew up with dogs my whole life (all golden retrievers) and I do a lot of pet sitting on the side for student's families. One of my own students told me about this app, so I figured it would be an awesome tool to earn extra cash to offset the cost of living, while getting to spend time with my favorite four-legged friends :) During the stay I will be using your home as “home base” and will be in and out of your house periodically during the day to care for my other drop-ins/walking clients, but the majority of my time will be dedicated to your fur family. I prefer clients with fenced-in yards or invisible fences for everyone’s safety, and one daily walk is included with every booking! One a final note, I taught my dog to sing (I swear he can match pitch), so if that's something you're interested in as well we can chat :-P **Stays of one night are subject to a minimum charge of two days**

“Oleg was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and took our dogs last minute when we had to go out of town for a funeral. Our pups had so much fun with his family and his lab. They both came home exhausted from lots of play time! We will definitely use Oleg’s services again.”
“Stephen and his daughter were incredible - we are so glad we booked with them and will again if we need to board our cats!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 9 years old, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I grew up with the sweetest Saint Bernard and have had 5 adorable kitties over the years. I like to call myself a professional cat entertainer. In 2023, I finally got my own fur baby who is spoiled rotten and my favorite thing in the world. I pet and house sit regularly for my friends and neighbors with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and even some horses. Sometimes that means staying overnight because one pup has bad separation anxiety, so I’m comfortable giving extra love and attention. Cats might be my favorite to work with but I love all cuties just the same! I’m working full time and right now, I get off work around 2:30pm. I am available for 30 minutes during the work day on my lunch break and during the afternoon/ nights. I have a large back yard and fenced in pool area for dogs with lots of room in the house for laying, playing, or exploring. I currently do not own a dog so any visiting dogs should bring with their favorite toys for extra entertainment. I am not living in a development but have plenty of walking trails in close proximity, including Big Boyd’s Tree Preserve, Front Street, Fort Hunter, and Wildwood Park. There are 3 cats living in the house who have been acclimated to dogs. We have separate rooms for visiting cats to stay with extra litter boxes, scratching posts, an abundance of toys, and a few humans to play with and love on.
About: I’ve gained abundant experience from pet sitting numerous dogs and cats over the past years along with raising our family pets. I have a decently flexible schedule, so I am able to step in on short notice if needed. I graduated from the University of Scranton earning my bachelor's degree in Biology. I also earned my associates in Medical Laboratory Technology at Penn State in 2025. I currently don’t have any pets, but I look forward to adopting a dachshund in the future. I would consider myself an organized and responsible individual. I am able to comfortably recognize an animal's behavior and their needs whether that is giving extra cuddles or just love from a distance. While I am taking care of your pets, your home will be in good hands. My goal is to make your time away from home as stress-free as possible by providing daily, detailed updates. I am looking forward to spending time with your fur babies! - Brittany I currently work day shift at UPMC as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. My schedule is fairly flexible, especially during late evenings and on weekends and holidays! I want your pet to feel comfortable in their own home with a complete stranger. I take my time with each animal learning and accepting their boundaries. My goal is to provide mental stimulation and to give them love while their loved ones are away.
“Rodger did great with our two one-year-old cats. He was super patient and understanding when one of them took longer to open up. Super responsive and consistent with sending updates. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Tiffany immediately put us at ease. The attention she paid, not only to our needs, but the needs of our dog also. She kept us informed as to the activities she and Andy were doing, and sent numerous photos. He acted like he didn’t want to leave at the end of his stay.”
“I really can't give a complete review because the Kayla's home is on a military base. The family met me off base. They were very nice and when I picked up my dog, she was happy and seemed fine. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kayla again.”
“Brian was great with Toby! We booked a last minute stay for a day we couldn't get our pup into doggie day care. Brain accommodated a quick meet and greet, and everything went smoothly! He sent multiple pictures throughout the stay - which helps to calm an over protective pet mom. I love that he took Toby and his dog for a long walk - certainly helped to tire him out once he got home. Ozzie and Toby seemed to have got along great, and we would definitely use Brian's help again! ”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Kayla took great care of my dog! She sent many updates letting me know how my dog was doing and was quick to respond to me. Would for sure recommend her to a friend and book with her again!”
“Wonderful sitter and positive experience to leave our two pups with Sarah. They took to Sarah immediately and there was no problem leaving them. Sarah responds immediately to messages and is very trustworthy. When we need a sitter again, we will definitely contact her.”
“Jenny is fantastic!! Her home is a dog’s paradise with a loving family and playful environment. Phoebe will be back and we won’t worry for a second about the care she receives while we’re gone.”
“My very first time using Rover I thought the process was very smoothly. Dale and Chris reached out fast and wanted to do a meet and greet so my dog sees and knows the atmosphere he will be in for the few days. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. They were kind enough to send updates and pictures through the duration of my trip. I highly recommend them.?”
About: I have had pets since childhood and we've had them all: dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, lizards...and I want to take care of yours, too. I can handle everything from puppies to senior animals. I am currently a part-time writing tutor so I have time to walk dogs and feed cats and critters. Being a writer makes my schedule flexible and perfect for pet-sitting. If an animal is in my home, you can trust that it will be safe and cared for with love. I have a nice little yard for running around and plenty of room to explore and relax.
