“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Sharon and her family. When we first met with Sharon all of out worries immediately disappeared. She is very kind and responsible. Our Cindy felt at home right away. We never had a reason to worry throughout our vacation as Sharon was always in touch. We received daily photographs and reports on how our pet was feeling. All our recommendations were followed. We were very happy with Sharon. Cindy even came home with gifts 😊 Thank you for taking care of our pet while we were away!!! We will definitely contact you again!”
“Anita and Jim took great care of my girl Loretta. I could tell from the pictures Anita sent that she was happy and got regular activity. I've already booked her next stay at their house!”
“I felt really good about leaving my 11-year-old Benny boy with Jennifer and Jason after spending an hours visit with them prior to dropping him off. They are clearly dog (animal) people…… and took him into their home as one of theirs. What more could I ask for?”
“Emily was amazing with Maverick. We just moved to the area 2 weeks ago and Mav had never been with anyone but his original pet sitter in Florida. He immediately went to Emily and her dogs and felt at home. Thrilled to have found Emily and the Mav had a peaceful family weekend away! We will absolutely be using her again and again!”
“Kim is awesome. Very kind and my Luna warmed up to her and her dogs. Very caring person. Sent daily videos and photos of Luna playing with the other dogs. I will have Kim watch Luna again.”

“I absolutely loved Johanny’s service! I always feel confident that my dog is in great hands with her and her family. They treat her with so much love and care, and it truly gives me peace of mind. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Finley and Luna love staying at Marla’s. We love getting pictures when we are away so we can rest easy knowing our dogs are in good hands. This is the 3rd or 4th time they have stayed here and they always come back tired from playing in the yard with their great dog! Thank you so much we feel great knowing we have you as back up when we are not around.”
“Bobbi took excellent care of our girl! We are very particular with who we let watch her, but Bobbi made us feel at ease right away as it is so clear how much she loves dogs. Both of her dogs are so well behaved and great companions for a visiting dog. We received plenty of pictures and videos showing us that our dog was on a fun vacation of her own! We will absolutely trust Bobbi again if we need a dog sitter!”

“Kristie was one of the best dog sitters we have had for Bruno. She was not only professional but deeply passionate about the well-being of animals. What truly stood out was her remarkable responsiveness and flexibility. Despite my last-minute request, she graciously accommodated my needs. Throughout my dog's stay, Kristie maintained excellent communication with cute photos of Bruno, keeping me informed and reassured at every step. She even gave my dog with a toy to take home with him. I wholeheartedly recommend Kristie to anyone seeking reliable and caring pet care services and I 100% would go to her again for future needs.”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“Sara's care for our dog Autumn was excellent. Autumn is a high energy dog than need room to run. While staying with Sara, Autumn was very much at ease. We will definitely look to Sara for the care of our dog in the future.”
“Matt is a great person and an awesome dog sitter! His communication was great and we are confident that our 6 month old golden, Whiskey, was safe and very happy in his care. Matt sent us pictures, and kept us looped in on how he was doing. He was super flexible about pickup since we returned a little early from our trip. We definitely know he had a blast with how much he slept right after we picked him up. We Will definitely reach out for help with Whiskey in the future when we need to.”
“Valerie was amazing. This is our first time to use Rover and I was a little nervous. She communicated with me the whole time and also shared photos of my fur babies. I highly recommend Valerie!”

Thank you”

“Lauren is amazing! She is so thorough in her visit updates, and sends plenty of pictures. She takes the time to sit with our dogs and make sure they are comfortable with her. We could not ask for a better drop-in sitter!”
“Carol sent me a bunch of pictures while she was stopping by to visit my kitties which was super appreciated. She followed all the instructions I left for her, and let me know when she was coming and going. Thank you, Carol!”

She is great with my shy cat, arrives when she’s supposed to, follows all instructions, and is a great communicator. I know I can depend on her and not worry about my pets well being. She’s fantastic and I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kristie has been absolutely wonderful. She has looked after our four kitties with the utmost care. We left our cats under her supervision while we were away for two weeks and she has taken great care of them. We will definitely use her again. I highly recommend booking with Kristie! Thank you, Kristie!”

About: My entire life I've grown up surrounded by and learning how to take care of dogs, cats, and other pets. I have offered housesitting, pet sitting, and dog walking services before, and I have always walked away with a satisfied client :). While I primarily deal with dogs and cats, if you have other animals that need to be taken care of, I can ensure that I will meet their needs. I work a part-time job, so I only work 4 hour shifts. Other than that, I’ll be free most of the day to give your animals the care they need :) Every animal will receive much love and attention, play time and walks will always be a guarantee. That being said, I do not offer services to keep animals in my home, as I live with multiple people who might not consent to animals being in the house. I'd much prefer if I went over to your house.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. I have a chocolate 90lb lab and a red bone coonhound. We go to the dog park l, walks, car rides. I love my dogs like they’re family! I do work full time but can tend before/after. I am very flexible! I can stay to make sure everything is done and there are happy pets. I do have a crate if needed with a fenced in yard! I was very very untrusting when I first used this app for my own pets. Let me be the person you go to because you can trust.
About: I have over two years of hands-on experience working as a designated kitty care staff member at a local Humane Society, where I was responsible for feeding, administering medication, cleaning enclosures, and socializing cats daily. This experience gave me a strong understanding of feline behavior, health, and the importance of maintaining clean, low stress environment. I’ve worked closely with cats of all backgrounds, including those who were abused or had never trusted humans before. Through patient, consistent care, I’ve helped many of these cats come out of their shells and build trust, something I take great pride in. I understand to read, body language, respect boundaries, and adjust my approach to each individual cat’s needs. In addition to my shelter experience, I’ve been pet sitting for cats in my neighborhood since high school and have consistently received excellent feedback for the quality of care I provide. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for cats for the past year and have truly grown to understand how unique and special each one is. I know that cats thrive in calm, familiar environments, so I focus on creating a peaceful, low-stress experience while sticking closely to their routine. Whether your cat is playful, independent, or a little shy, I take the time to earn their trust and care for them on their terms. I’m patient, attentive, and gentle—always paying attention to their behavior, mood, and comfort level. I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, their space is clean, and they feel safe while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, so you always know your cat is in good hands. I treat every cat like they’re my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love.

I am an electrical engineering student home from college trying to pay off my loans. I am free all summer so please give me work!! I am friendly and have a lot of time to match any request your pet needs. From difficult animals to sweet ones I can watch them.
“Hannah was phenomenal! Our original sitter called out less than a week before a 10 day trip, and we needed someone twice a day for our cat who needs insulin. She took wonderful care insuring Luna ate before her insulin dose, played with Arya, and provided wonderful photos and even videos while we were away. Hannah was willing to water our vegetables and take the trash out as well. She went above and beyond cleaning things up (cats threw up and peed outside the litterbox too!) and keeping everything tidy. We could not be more pleased and look forward to working with her again. Truly, a great professional sitter. Thanks so much Hannah!”
“Jason took amazing care of my pets while I was away for 9 days! You can really tell he loves animals—my usually shy cat, Foxy, actually liked him, and my rabbit, Muffy, didn’t even want to leave when I came back. He kept everything well cared for and gave me peace of mind the whole time. Jason also kindly accommodated an extra day when I realized I had accidentally booked one day short. Truly reliable, caring, and attentive—I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Liz went above and beyond for my cats and even my houseplants! She’s very communicative, friendly, and responsible. I would highly recommend her services to any one who loves their pets!”
“Peter took wonderful, attentive care of my two Cats, dropping in for an hour each day to play, pet, groom, tidy-up, and keep them company while I was away. Peter is comfortable, friendly, funny, and made my first Rover experience incredibly easy & pleasant! He also listened carefully to my priorities and preferences and sent detailed communications daily. An all-around great guy that I'd trust with any animal and recommend to any friend and neighbor!”

“A warm inviting start on Miso’s first day with Jason and Brit. Miso is very small and was given a lot of extra lap time and alone time with Jason and Brit. After a bad experience in Philadelphia at a doggy daycare center she needed extra everything and she got it. She came home, ate and is fast asleep! It was good day ☺️”
“Marleny saved our day out with friends. We are from NJ and were heading to Easton for the day but our sitter close to home had canceled on us. We contacted Marleny late the evening before and she was happy to help. Our one girl is a rescue and suffers from severe separation anxiety so she can never be left unattended. Marleny assured us that she would be home the entire time and that made us feel very comfortable while out enjoying our day with friends. Will definitely use Marleny again when visiting friends in the area. Thank you soooooo much.”
“It is Chadwick's first day with Megan. She made sure Chadwick's needs are taken cared of. She is welcoming and treated our dog as her own. Thank you so much Megan for the wonderful care.”
About: I have always loved and cared for dogs all of my life! I worked with a breeder for around a year and was taking care of 10+ dogs as well as the puppy’s.

I am around all hours so I can be there for your pet anytime of the day.
“Another great visit, Kim was available on less than a week’s notice to watch my Jamocha for an entire day while we visited my son at college. Her care is always first rate and you won’t wonder what’s happening while you’re gone because you get tons of pics and updates. I’m pretty sure Jamocha almost decided to stay 😁 at the end, she lives her time with Kim’s dogs who are now her buddies!”
“We had an excellent experience with Michelle while leaving our little pup, Bella in her care. She was available with little notice and Bella seemed happy and content with her visit. Plan to use again.”
“Brooke and Jeremy were amazing for doggy daycare. They were incredibly accommodating with my early work hours, which made everything so much easier for me. My pup tends to be pretty anxious, but they handled him with so much care and patience-it really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the attention and effort they put into making him comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”

About: Hello! My name is Katerina. I have experience with small and large breeds. Growing up, our family had a Great Dane! In my single years, I cared for a beloved Jack Russel terrier from when she was an energetic pup until nearly 17. Currently, I live with my husband Seth and our two daughters, ages 11 and 13. Our little homestead includes a few chickens, a busy hive, and a cat whom we adopted five years ago. We are considering adopting a dog to keep our chickens safe from predators and to be a hiking companion in our travels. I am a full time homemaker and homeschooling parent. My schedule is very flexible. My days include educating my daughters ages 11 and 13 and running a small homestead of a few chickens, bees, and a cat. I love hiking at Ringing Rocks, Lake Nockamixon, and Delaware River canal towpath. Your dog would be a welcome companion on the hikes! If you have a senior dog, he will receive plenty of loving attention and companionship in our home. Our small homestead offers privacy and space for play and running. Your dog may enjoy cooling off in the creek that runs through the property. We live near Delaware canal towpath and Nockamixon state park. Both places offer excellent hiking and walking options for dogs!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 7. I am currently trusted to watch over my families’ pets when I’m needed. I’ve always loved having fur babies by my side to care for and make happy. I have a part time job, school, and college classes to attend. I do have a handful of free time in between or on certain days. I’m free most Sundays and Fridays between 11:00-9. Mondays anytime between 2:30-9. Thursdays anytime between 1:30-9. In any clients home I would like to understand the boundaries of me being in the home. As well as and the boundaries of your animal! Both of which are helpful so all parties are comfortable and aware.

“Murphy loves Kristie! I knew from the meet & greet that this would be a good fit. Since our needs are not regular we made a plan on how to handle keys which worked perfectly for us. Highly recommend Kristie!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12! Neighbors, friends, and family have been able to rely on me to watch, feed, play with, and overall take care of their pets while they are away. I have taken care of dogs of all ages! I have 2 dogs back home and have trained them both since they were puppies, they are currently 8 and 12! Im currently a student at Coastal Carolina but home for the summer and my schedule is pretty open especially on weekends so I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets while you are away! It fits in naturally by consistency and reliable check ins where I prioritize your pets needs! I care for pets in my clients home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible! I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection! I respect your home by keeping everything clean and tidy and provide regular photo updates so you feel confident your pet is safe, well cared for, and happy while you are away.
“Robert has been walking my dog Roman three times a week for the past few weeks, and it’s been a fantastic experience. He’s always on time, sends a photo and quick update after each walk, and clearly takes great care with Roman. He’s also been really flexible—willing to adjust the schedule when needed, which has been a huge help. It’s a relief to know Roman is in such good hands. I highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a reliable and professional dog walker!”
About: Life long animal lover I've taken care of many different kinds of pets! I had a frog growing up, fish, cats, dogs, and I've helped pet sit numerous times for a friend for his goat, chickens, turtle, geese, turkeys, ducks, and dogs (puppies, adult dogs and a senior dog with medications who needed extra tlc). I also work here and there at a local horse farm feeding and cleaning stalls as well as turning 45+ horses out to pasture. I'm used to handling strong pulling animals (I like to think being able to handle an antsy 1200+ lb animal prepares me for most anything haha), and my own strong pulling dog so I'm well versed to handling eager dogs on walks. I've been able to administer medications to senior dogs, my own dog needed 5 different medicines for a few weeks during heartworm treatment and my cat currently is transitioning to a prescription urinary diet so I know a few tricks to getting medicine to them as well as doling out special meals. I'm currently switching to working 2 part time jobs 7 days a week to only working 1 of those jobs maybe 2-3 days a week so I'm looking to fill my time with taking care of your furry best friends and probably working more at the horse farm too. My schedule for work is made at least a month in advance and I don't work weekends since I work for a dental office so I have some free time to do this now. Looking to walk your dog, drop in on your cats/dogs while you're away and maybe open to short overnight stays in your home if I can arrange for my own doggie to be taken care of because he gets really lonely and upset if I'm not home at night, otherwise I'd have it on my profile that I was available for that too. I will follow your every instruction and request for taking care of your pet in your home, I can crate you dog and handle letting them out, making sure they don't get off leash or out of your fenced in yard and make sure your cat doesn't slip out the doorway when I come in. I have some sneaky pets myself sometimes and I feel I've become a master at outsmarting even the sneakiest pet. I'll make sure your pets have plenty of fresh water, the right amount of food, nothing is left out for them to get into or chew up, and cleaned litterboxes! I believe in treating your pet like my own and providing the utmost care and respect for both them and your home.
“Liz is FANTASTIC. Scheduling and communication were very easy. My dog is shy and fearful around new people, but he warmed up to Liz immediately. She knew exactly how to approach him and pick up on his cues and make him feel comfortable. Highly recommend.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Morgan!! She is such a kind person! My dog waits for her to come for her daily walks!! My dog is the happiest when she sees Morgan’s car coming down the road!!! I honestly can’t control her excitement just waiting for Morgan to get to the door! I have had many sitters in Rover and she is truly the best!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up actively involved in their daily care, from feeding and walking to helping with training and routines. This lifelong experience has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also helped care for dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, as well as dogs who need a calmer, more patient approach. I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care is already built into my daily routine since I’m home throughout the day and care for my own dog. I maintain a consistent schedule with outings every 4 hours, along with regular feeding, walks, and playtime. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs receive plenty of attention and are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m also flexible and can adjust routines to meet each dog’s specific needs, whether that’s more frequent breaks, extra exercise, or a slower pace. I live in an apartment complex with two dog parks and plenty of space for walks. I treat every dog like my own and take the time to quickly learn their routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Katelynn! I have 2 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant, where I became comfortable caring for animals with patience, attention to detail, and a calm approach. I also regularly watched my neighbor’s dog from 2015 until 2018, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping a pet safe and comfortable while their owner was away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m gentle, reliable, and attentive, especially with pets who may be nervous, shy, older, or need a little extra patience. I will treat your pet like part of the family and keep you updated so you know they are safe and cared for. I have plenty of availability for pet care, especially during the summer. Since I do not drive, I am best suited for local walks, nearby drop-in visits, or care where the owner can handle drop-off and pick-up. I’m happy to spend time playing, walking, feeding, and keeping your pet company while following their normal routine as closely as possible. Alternatively, my husband can drop me off and pick me up. I care for pets with patience, attention, and respect for their routine. I have 2 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, so I understand how important safety, clear instructions, and careful observation are. I also regularly watched my neighbor’s dog from 2015 to 2018, which gave me hands-on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. In a client’s home, I will follow all instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications if discussed ahead of time, and household rules. I will make sure doors, gates, leashes, and crates are secure, and I will send updates so owners know their pet is safe and cared for. I’m especially patient with shy, nervous, senior, or sensitive pets.
“I highly recommend Michelle as a pet walker. Michelle was very attentive to Halley’s needs. She is punctual and responsible. She sent pictures and updates, a very positive experience.”
“Guinevere is wonderful with my dogs. Both of my dogs get very excited when she comes to walk them. She always keeps me updated and sends me photos which I appreciate. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 7 years now, as well as taking care of my own. I watch family, friends, and neighbors dogs. I walk and play with them and give my dog baths. I am a college student so this is a perfect job for me! I have a lot of free time during the weekends and during the week I have a hour lunch break everyday and get done class at 2-2:30 most days, this is a perfect job for me. I am very observant and will keep the pets occupied. I can feed and crate them if necessary and make sure they get enough exercise during the time that I am with them.

We will absolutely trust Bobbi again if we need a dog sitter!”

“Matt is a great person and an awesome dog sitter! His communication was great and we are confident that our 6 month old golden, Whiskey, was safe and very happy in his care. Matt sent us pictures, and kept us looped in on how he was doing. He was super flexible about pickup since we returned a little early from our trip. We definitely know he had a blast with how much he slept right after we picked him up. We Will definitely reach out for help with Whiskey in the future when we need to.”

I felt very at ease leaving my dog Ace with her and I could tell he had a lot of fun at her home too from the cute photos she sent.

“Brittni's home was the absolute perfect place our dog Rolo could have gone for the week! I was so worried because she is an older dog who is set in her ways, but Brittni and family took her in as a part of their family and we are so grateful! I genuinely think it was a vacation for Rolo as well with all of the walks around their beautiful property paired with being spoiled in their home as well! Brittni's kindness and gentle nature was immediately obvious with our dog, who seemed to warm up to her right away. Communication was excellent and everything went smoothly. We highly recommended Brittni to take care of any animal!”
