Personalized care for your dog or cat - Elephant
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Elephant
“My dog had an excellent time staying in Carole’s home while I was working. She has a beautiful home with plenty of space for dogs to run and play. Would definitely recommend!”
“Rob was really great boarding our golden retriever, Archie. You can tell Rob takes pride in being on Rover and being a good caregiver to pets. He took many pics for us, was responsive and even made sure that Archie was comfortable during a few big storms. Went the extra mile and even got extra bones etc. for him.”
“Jason was great! He took such good care of our mini goldendoodle with separation anxiety. Loved getting picture updates, and she had the best time in his awesome backyard with the other dogs. Highly recommend!”
“We are very happy that Anacelia was available for a last minute boarding request. As always, she keeps us updated with pictures and highlights of our pup’s stay. Our pups are well taken cared of and that makes us happy as well.”
“Rebecca and her husband were fantastic! I have a 7r old female Labrador retriever that is quite anxious and easily panicked. I had her shipped up to Pennsylvania from Texas when i had to move and i needed a place for her to stay while I was out of town. From the moment I booked with them, they were in constant contact and reassurance of her well-being. She stayed with them for about a weeks worth of boarding. I had constant updates through photos and videos multiple times daily. They were both so kind and live in a great neighborhood. They did everything they could to accommodate her to the best of their ability, even went as far as giving her chicken when she wouldn’t eat her food! These folks are a gem in the dog boarding community, and you would be lucky to book with them! They really love and care for animals and treat your pet as if it were their own! I will be using them again anytime I need a sitter for my dog Maddie!”
“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.”
“Katherine was absolutely lovely. My dogs had a wonderful weekend running around with her dogs. She was prepared to keep them separate if needed which I appreciated very much even though it wasn’t necessary. I will definitely be returning!”
“Mariia was a wonderful sitter to my dog. She was kind and always very quick to respond to any questions I had. She truly cared for my dog and I could see in the photos she sent that my dog was happy when we were away. I will ask her to watch my dog again!”

“Ceinwen is absolutely fantastic. She and her lovely two daughters have gone above and beyond to ensure that my fur kids are safe and well cared for when I travel. I can’t give enough stars!!!”
“This was our first time to use Rover.com and we were very pleased with the service. Marla was fantastic. She is very professional, prompt to respond, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. I would highly recommend Marla and her family to care for your pet. Especially enjoyed getting daily pictures of interactions with our dog with Marla and her family (her children are terrific helpers)! Marla gets five stars from this customer!”
“Tiffany was great with our two dogs. This was the first time I have used Rover, and was a little nervous as one of our dogs is a rescue dog and gets scared easily. Tiffany communicated timely and sent photos of how they were doing. She is an excellent dog sitter and will use her again!”
“Coleen is fantastic and Id recommend her to anyone! She watched our 5 month old puppy for a long weekend, and even though it was the first time he’d been away from home, he fit right in with Coleen and clearly had a blast! Coleen was very easy to work with, and her communication before and during the puppy’s stay was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be back”
“Sharon is wonderful!🌸 I can only trust her with my Cindy! Thanks to Sharon, I can go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing that my dog will be well taken care of. Cindy is no longer young and has serious health problems. Sharon always takes care of her with love.❤️”
“This is the second time we have trusted Emily with our dog Jenny and it was just as great as the last time! Emily made sure that Jenny was comfortable and helped ensured that she adjusted well. We also received many pics of her while we were away which was an extra peace of mind. She’s the best!”
“I am thrilled to have met Kaitlyn!! Kaitlyn took excellent care of my 2 fur babies. She understood the personality of each one, which is very different, and gave them the best care and love. She kept in touch with me and sent me pictures and updates about how they were doing. Needless to say they were happy and loved by her! I am hoping to see her again this summer!”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with pets all my life. Now that I’m an adult I have 5 cats and a dog. I’ve fostered (and foster failed) both cats and dogs over the years. I watch my friend’s pets here and at their homes as well. At my house I have a spare room that can be your animal’s home away from home if they need their own secluded space. I also have a fenced in yard with friendly neighbors who are also animal lovers. Come in the summer and I’ll send you home with some fresh veggies from my garden too! I get up early for work and make sure to leave plenty of time to feed, clean litter boxes and make sure all my four legged babies are ready for the day. Once home in the afternoon and after I lay down on the couch they all come to find me for love and to lay on me for all the pets. At night all are welcome to sleep with me, on the couch or wherever they are the most comfortable. I home almost all day over the weekends except for the morning time on Sundays. I have a fenced in yard so any dogs are able to go outside whenever they need to to play, pee or lay in the sun. I watch my neighbor’s dogs as needed and will go over every 4 or so hours to let them out over the weekends. During the week I let them out before I go to work and then as soon as I come home. I then let them out again before bed around 8pm. I also am able to let them out as needed when they are in a pinch and can’t get home in time. My cats and yours if they come for a stay will have water and toys available to them at all times. They will be fed twice a day with a snack of crunchies before bed. If you needed me to come to your house to take care of your cats and/or dogs, I would be able to come early in the morning, after work and before bed during the week and every 4-6 hours during the weekend. While at your house I can take animals for a walk, play, give pets and love, brush or whatever else is needed. Of course I’d feed them and clean kitty litter boxes or whatever else your babies need. I am good with giving medicine to cats and dogs. I give daily medication to my dog and have had to give cats medicine in the past.

“Lauren did an amazing job watching our two dogs, including our senior dog who needs a gentler approach. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated the entire time, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We’re extremely happy with her service and would absolutely trust her with our pups again! We highly recommend Lauren!”
“Rebecca did a great job caring for our three one year old cats while we were away. She made sure they had food and water, a clean litter box, and a little playtime. She also was kind enough to check on the status of our refrigerator since we had lost power the day of her visit. Thanks so much for your attentive care, Rebecca!”
“Alexandra was fantastic. Took excellent care of our cats, who can be finicky. They loved her. Was very prompted at drop in visits and handled insulin shots with ease. We would highly recommend her and will likely use her again. Thanks Alexandra. We appreciate your great care!!!”
“Ian was polite, attentive, and courteous. Our normal sitter was unavailable, so we hired Ian to stop in and check on our cats while we were gone over Christmas. He was on time for our meet-and-greet and followed all our instructions. We'd definitely use him again if we need a sitter!”
“I’ve always been a bit leery to have a stranger come into my home and care for my fur baby, however as soon as I met Morgan I instantly trusted her. She is friendly and kind and without a doubt will love your pet as of it was her own. Morgan was super flexible and so sweet with my kitty. She also went above and beyond her pet sitting duties in many ways. The icing on the cake is that she left my house sparkling clean.”
“Juliette did a fabulous job caring for our 2 cats. She is very calm, friendly, and professional. Her expertise in caring for cats, especially diabetic cats and cats w medical needs, was so helpful. Our boys Peanut and Milo loved having Juliette take care of them. I would highly recommend Juliette!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was young. Truthfully I had never been a fan of them until we got kittens during COVID. Around the same time my neighbor moved away and her cat colony moved to my house. Ever since I’ve taken care of my cats as well as my outdoor cats and they are now my favorite animals.
“It always stinks leaving my pets alone, but with Suzanne I know that they are being well cared for. She’s super attentive and takes great care of the animals under her watch. Five stars as always!”
“Denise was great! We had her stop by midday when we had to leave our new puppy Nova home alone for the first time. From the photos she sent, it looked like Nova loved playing with her!”
About: I adore cats of all ages. I’d love to come spend time with your feline. I have extensive experience giving medications such as oral administration for Hyperthyroidism and Diabetes as well as subcutaneous administration for fluids.
“I am so very appreciative of Tricia! I love my doggos with my whole heart, and I wouldn't trust them with just anyone. I knew right away, and my dogs knew right away, Tricia was one of the good ones. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies!”
“Alexandra is accommodating and reliable. I love how aware she was of my newish 4YO shelter dog needs: potty break, interactive toys and ending with snuggles on the couch. With her updates and pictures I know my pup enjoyed her visit. Highly recommend 😊”
About: As a certified veterinary technician, I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s administering medications, understanding feline behavior, or providing a calm and stress-free environment, I’m skilled at meeting cats’ unique needs. My goal is to keep your feline friend comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
About: Hi everyone! I've had dogs since I was a baby. My first dog, Kayla actually taught me how to walk! I absolutely love pups & am hoping to open a sanctuary for senior & disabled dogs one day. For now, I'm hoping to be able to leave my corporate job & take care of your dogs. Absolute dream job💙 My goal is to make your dogs as happy & comfortable as possible. If they're happy, they won't be stressed and neither will you. My family and I keep them busy & entertained. Some of my clients even call my home Camp Anacelia 😂. The atmosphere in my house is very relaxed. Everyone is welcome on the furniture & most of our guest pups sleep on our beds or in one of several dog beds we have throughout the house. Their choice! Have a pup with special needs or need medications administered? No problem! From allergy meds to insulin to diapers, I have years of experience. I also keep puppy pads readily available for our untrained guests. When the weather is good, I like to take the dogs on day trips to parks, events, markets, etc. Let me know if your dog is not a fan of car rides. Communication is key! Tell me what your needs are and we can decide together, if I'm the right sitter for your family. Thank you & I look forward to meeting you & your pup! I work outside of the home during the weekday, but your pups will never be alone as my husband is self employed and loves spending time with them. I like to spend 1 on 1 time with the pups and let them decide if they want to play together or just want to nap on my lap. Meal times are also done on a solo basis to eliminate any chance of mishaps and to decrease stress.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a total of 5 years. I volunteered at an animal shelter to take care of cats, and worked for a few months taking care of dogs. I have also dog sat for friends when they went away and didn't have any issues. I have 2 dogs, one I got in January 2022 (chapo) and the other (pablo) in March 2022. Mr. Chapo was a rescue from the spca and we have had Mr. Pablo since he was 3 months old. Chapo is an American staffordshire and is 7.5 years old and pablo is 3.5 years old. I want everyone to be aware that I work full time and can be available in the mornings Sunday-Wednesday’s. I am free all day every other Wednesday. I am available all day Thursday-Saturday. I am more than happy to dog sit overnight/in the morning before i go to work. I will work with you so we can make sure your little one (or big one) is cared for! I am available on most weekends. Holidays may differ depending on my schedule. I let Chapo out when I get home and let him roam around outside because he just sleeps most of the day. When I am not home he is inside. Pablo is in his crate when I am at work. He likes going outside but not a huge fan. I will care for your pet however you would like since its your fur baby!
About: Growing up in a cat-loving home, my affinity for animals was realized at an early age. I’ve been the go-to person amongst family and friends for pet care since I was a kid. I’ve dabbled in this passion on the side my whole life, but am now pursuing it full tilt and hope to build a career in conservational zoology. In 2020, pet care grew outside of my inner circle of friends and family, and I gained clientele I still work for to this day. I’ve handled cats of all sizes and temperaments, administered medication, and adhered to the specific needs of the families in my care. My focus is on the comfort, stimulation, and enrichment of your pet! I am reliable and flexible, and find genuine joy in this line of work. This is how I would prefer to spend my time! My Pets: Thistle and Pants are my two cats. Thistle is a 7 year old domestic long hair whom I adopted from a rescue when she was 6 months old. She grew up with big German Shepherds and finds herself very comfortable around dogs. She gives off that annoyed older sister vibe, but always wants to be where the people are. She looks like a plump raccoon, and spends most of her time perched cozily on the back of the sofa or sunbathing on the windowsill. Pants is a 5 month old Maine Coon kitten, and he makes himself right at home in any space he occupies. He’s adventurous and outspoken, and keeps Thistle moving (and slightly irritated) throughout the day. He’s proving to be too clever for his own good, but overall he’s very chill for such a young boy. He’s currently snoozing next to my elbow on the kitchen table while I type this. I will be adding a new dog to the family in several months, and will undergo training with a focus on companionship and socialization. I can’t wait to have another partner in pet care! Letters of Recommendation are available upon request. Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon! Rachel Baughman

“Melvin has stayed with Jason several times. His tail wags as he goes into his house. He comes home totally pooped out. It is always a very positive experience.”
“Veronika was so wonderful! After the first day, Tucker was so excited to go back and play. It was comforting to know he wasn't alone and had fun while I was at work. Thank you so much!”
“My pup was well taken care! Mikaila took very good care of my senior guy! She is very responsible and learns in advance all the needs! Will definitely bring my pup again!! Very recommended”
About: I have spent my entire life growing up with numerous and varied pets, which has given me experience with different animals and their needs. I would love to care for your pet—any breed, size, or personality! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to discuss scheduling a time that works for you! Please reach out, so we can discuss your needs. I will clarify with you if there are any specific needs or routines that would be followed for your pet. Typically, I would enter and greet your pet (whether with pets or from afar), feed them per instructions, and give them fresh water. For dogs, we will head outside for a walk or exercise in the backyard, and for cats, I would clean their litter box and then play or relax with them. Whether it is a drop-in, overnight stay, or walk, I will make sure your doors and gates are locked!
About: I have been neighbor hood babysitter and pet sitter since I was 8 years old. Always be responsible and trustworthy. Treat your property and pets as if they were my own. Animals can't speak for themselves so we must be their voice. I work for myself and have flexible schedule. My business is slow right now an I love animals so it will help me cope an offer best care for those who want the best for their loved pets! Animals are the world to me wish I could have more but I rent. I am allowed to have animals over for few days at a time as long as it's not permanent. Perfect for everyone as your pets will be loved as much if not more then expected. I am a serious animal lover and the care I provide will be noticed. Sometimes people say their dogs not friendly yet ends up loving me regardless of what they say or have experienced with other. Kinda like snow white when it comes to all animals. Recently got 2 rabbits who were dumped and new experience. Amazing to love such small creatures
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 would bathe them, feed them, walk them, and pick up after them, and just love them! I have also took care of multiple dogs while the owners are away. I have been working with dogs ever since I was little and am reliable and trustworthy. I will care for your pet like it is my own! I am a college student home for the summer and looking to do this as much as possible! I am around for most of the summer and will always be available when needed! If I am caring for your pet in my home I will treat them just like my own! I have a fenced in yard and love to take walks around my neighborhood! I wake up early and will care for your dog however they need so they are happy and healthy while you’re away! If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will gladly be there as much as you need me to make your pet as happy as possible! I love to take walks and play with your dog as well. I am around all hours so I can be there for your pet anytime of the day.
“Emily is great with the pups. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets while away. I am so happy to have found her through Rover! Thanks.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Mochi with a sitter. Jason was so responsive from the start. He sent lots of photos and it was evident he’s a pro! Mochi had a great day!! I would recommend him everytime! Thank you again!”
“We booked a short day-sitting to give us a chance to meet Olive. She did a wonderful job with a slow introduction for my two apprehensive dogs. She has a very nice, clean house, and was very kind and caring towards our boys. I especially like the fact that she only sits for one family's dog(s) at a time. While my larger dog loves playing in group settings with other dogs, my 10 lb younger guy can get very scared. I look forward to booking her services again.”

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 goats, chickens, turtle, geese, turkeys, ducks, fish, pigs, 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 working 3-4 days during the week at my main job as a Dental Assistant, as well as working a few hours every Sunday AM at a yoga studio. I am also a part time college student studying Dental Hygiene as well as on my way to becoming an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant. Currently that looks like Monday/Wednesday AM I am in class from 9am-11am, Friday from 12pm-5pm and Saturday from 9am-4pm I am at my other class (which ends the first week of September 2026). I will try to update this as often as needed. I marked Fridays off for now but I can be flexible with scheduling around work and school as much as I can. I typically work Monday/Tuesday/Thursday at my main job but the hours vary as early as 7am to as late as 8pm. Sometimes I will get scheduled Wednesday when needed but it's not often. Any questions on availability or time feel free to message me! If you are flexible with schedules it helps out alot too! I also have my own pets at home which is why I currently don't offer overnights as he has separation anxiety if I'm not home at night. 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.
“Morgan is amazing! You can tell just how much she loves and cares about animals! She was very prompt in response time and did a great job with my pup! She kept me updated the whole time and provided lots of pictures! If you are looking for a reliable sitter Morgan is definitely a great candidate🐾”
“Alexandra has been wonderful with Remi. They have adjusted well to each other. Remi looks forward to her walk and it has helped her be more calmer. Would recommend Alexandra to anyone considering a Dog Walker, pet sitting. Etc….we will be using her for pet sitting for our next trip. 💕”
“Kaity’s was very friendly and responsive and took the time to make sure she was a good fit for our two dogs, especially with our new puppy. It’s very obvious that she loves dogs and is very knowledgeable. They had a great walk with Katie and she even gave me some pointers on helping our puppy as she learned the ropes.”
About: How I can be your pets next favorite friend is my strong background in working with dogs, especially when it comes to basic training like sit, stay, lay down, etc. to even teaching some fun, playful tricks! I focus on making every visit engaging and positive to help reinforce good behavior while keeping your dog happy and active. While dogs are my specialty, I’m always happy to care for cats too with the same level of love, patience, and attention. Taking care of animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve got a dog of my own, so things like walks, training, and playtime are already part of my routine. I genuinely love being around animals, and I’m hoping to turn that passion into a full-time career one day. Pet sitting, or even just being around animals gives me a chance to do what I enjoy while gaining more experience with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m happy to care for your pet in my home, where there’s plenty of room to play and relax. I have both a front and back yard for outdoor time, and while they aren’t fenced, I always use heavy-duty tethers and stay close by to keep things safe. Inside, there’s lots of cozy space and available crate room if your pet is used to having their own spot. Your pet will also have the chance to hang out with my own small, friendly dog if they enjoy some company! I make sure every pet feels at home, gets lots of attention, and stays on their usual routine as much as possible. When caring for your pet at your home, I’ll always follow your instructions and any special routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable and at ease. I’m happy to stick to their usual schedule and habits so they experience as little disruption as possible. Plus, I bring extra pet supplies with me whether it’s toys, bowls, or anything else needed to ensure your pet has everything they need while you’re away.
“Rebecca was our routine dog walker for almost 2 years, walking Rosie in the morning and afternoon a few days a week. She is wonderful -- dedicated, flexible, and a good communicator. I highly recommend her.”
“Ian is fantastic! Lovely, kind, responsive, and thoughtful. It such a relief knowing my Elsie is in good hands during the day and even in spontaneous emergencies. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Alex was flexible, reliable, and communicated well. My pup seemed to enjoy his walks, always coming back tired, and I felt he was in good hands. Would definitely book again.”
About: After 9-11 I was the kennel masters assistant. I now volunteer at last chance Ranch and deal with many types of dogs with issues. I absolutely LOVE dogs of all shapes and sizes. They are my therapy! I currently work part time at a doggie daycare and have volunteered at last chance Ranch for nearly two years. I have rescued many dogs over the years ( they have a special place in my heart) I'm simply looking to walk your dog. If you have special requests I am willing to make reasonable accomodations. I like walking in the woods
About: I’m a certified vet tech with experience in emergency medicine and canine behavior. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—including reactive, senior, and special-needs pets. I especially love training puppies and helping them grow into well-behaved, confident dogs. I focus on calm, knowledgeable care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I am currently working part-time at an emergency vet hospital. This schedule gives me lots of time where I can come and care for your pets. I care for pets right in their own home, sticking closely to your routines to keep them comfortable and happy. With my background in canine behavior, I’m great at reading your dog’s mood and helping reduce stress or anxiety. I love keeping pups engaged with fun play and gentle training—especially puppies! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities while you’re away.
“I have really enjoyed having Shanon coming to walk my big boy. My big boy is a rescue and is not great with new people. At 140 pounds he can be very intimidating to others. We need someone to watch our dogs for a long trip this year which will require work and time to build a relationship. Shanon is very intuitive to my dogs need to build a relationship slowly. She doesn't react to him the way most would and genuinely takes clues from him. Ive been so worried to try and have him build a relationship with someone and I dont think I could have gotten anyone better. She does rush him or force him to be near her and he is very quickly getting comfortable with her which is something I wasnt expecting to happen so soon. I can not rave enough about her natural intuition and willingness to work with us, its been a perfect fit and I know our dogs will be just fine with her for an extended period of time in a few months!”
About: I been fostering and caring for kittens/cats for many years. I also have 4 cats of my own. I absolutely adore all animals and enjoy caring for them. I’m very open to being available on my lunch breaks during work, week nights and weekends. I try and be as flexible as possible when I can be. I will give them tons of attention and love - whatever is needed to make them happy and feel loved. I'm happy to follow any rules and instructions you give for them. I know how important it is to keep our fur babies loved and happy :)
About: I have worked with animals my whole life. Caring for them is something I truly love. I have a B.S. in Animal Science and worked as a vet tech for many years. I have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, small animals, chickens, exotics, senior pets and large animals, especially pigs. I also specialize in animal reiki. I’m comfortable giving oral, topical, and injectable medications, as well as caring for pets with special needs. Every pet has a unique personality and routine. I will take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I have a flexible work schedule at the moment, so this allows me to provide multiple visits or walks for your beloved pet. I aim to make things convenient for you and your pets. I provide love and care to your pet in the comfort of their own home. I follow directions well and will always send photo or text updates to ease your worries.
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 lived with animals, all my life I have three kitty cats now, and I had labradors when I was kid. My grandfather had some Dobermans when I was little and I’ve been around great Danes as well.. I have walked three huskies with my son who has high functioning autism, and is my helper with a lot of my jobs we do it together. We’d love to take care and love animals I am highly focused on creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment. When I watch pets, we typically spend our time doing activities,, outdoor play. I have a flexible schedule, and I’m willing to work around mine and your schedules I will work during the week and weekends as well I would take very good care of your pet inside your home and if you have a list and concerns for your pet, I will be able to willing to work on that for your pet.. Inside my home would be the same way and have a comfortable playtime with my family
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a total of 5 years. I volunteered at an animal shelter to take care of cats, and worked for a few months taking care of dogs. I have also dog sat for friends when they went away and didn't have any issues. I have 2 dogs, one I got in January 2022 (chapo) and the other (pablo) in March 2022. Mr. Chapo was a rescue from the spca and we have had Mr. Pablo since he was 3 months old. Chapo is an American staffordshire and is 7.5 years old and pablo is 3.5 years old. I want everyone to be aware that I work full time and can be available in the mornings Sunday-Wednesday’s. I am free all day every other Wednesday. I am available all day Thursday-Saturday. I am more than happy to dog sit overnight/in the morning before i go to work. I will work with you so we can make sure your little one (or big one) is cared for! I am available on most weekends. Holidays may differ depending on my schedule. I let Chapo out when I get home and let him roam around outside because he just sleeps most of the day. When I am not home he is inside. Pablo is in his crate when I am at work. He likes going outside but not a huge fan. I will care for your pet however you would like since its your fur baby!
About: Growing up in a big dog- and cat-loving home, my affinity for animals was realized at an early age. I’ve been the go-to person amongst family and friends for pet care since I was a kid. I’ve dabbled in this passion on the side my whole life, but am now pursuing it full tilt and hope to build a career in conservational zoology. In 2020, pet care grew outside of my inner circle of friends and family, and I gained clientele I still work for to this day. While in Hawaii from August 2024 to February 2026, I dog-sat for five families on top of my day job, regularly tending to their pets every week (and some every day). This included walks and meals, house calls, trips to the beach, hikes, daily visits to the local dog parks, bathing and brushing, extended stays at my home while owners traveled, and coordinating play dates with other pet-sitters. I’ve handled animals of all sizes and temperaments, administered medication, and adhered to the specific needs of the families in my care. My focus is on the comfort, stimulation, and enrichment of your pet! I am reliable and flexible, and find genuine joy in this line of work. This is how I would prefer to spend my time! My Pets: My 120lb Saint Bernard/Bernese, Hobie, was my dutiful companion in pet care, living up to his “nanny dog” personality. In July 2025, he sadly passed at the young age of 2 due to congenital kidney failure, but his short life was full to the brim of adventures with furry friends! He was equally as loving as he was loved. My world completely revolved around him while I had him. Thistle and Pants are my two cats. Thistle is a 7 year old domestic long hair, and I’ve had her since she was 6 months old. She has very much been a partner in my pet care as well, having grown up with big dogs and preferring their company over other cats. She gives off that annoyed older sister vibe, but always wants to be near the other animals and people. Pants is a 5 month old Maine Coon kitten, and he makes himself right at home in any space he occupies. He’s adventurous and outspoken, and keeps Thistle moving (and slightly irritated) throughout the day. He’s proving to be too clever for his own good! I will be adding a new dog to the family in several months, and will undergo training with a focus on companionship and socialization. I can’t wait to have another partner in pet care! Letters of Recommendation are available upon request. Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon! Rachel I’m currently available all day Tuesday through Saturday! I’m an early riser, accustomed to starting my days around 5am. I’m quick to respond and very flexible. I will adhere to YOUR preferred form of care. I love going on drives, walks, and hikes and have a roomy CR-V perfect for transporting furry friends! I like arranging play dates with social pets, or spending one-on-one time for those that prefer to be solo. My apartment in Dublin has a spacious yard with a tall fence and tree shade, and I’m happy to take your pet to their known stomping grounds or on new adventures. I live about ten minutes away from Peace Valley Park, and twenty minutes from Nockamixon State Park. I will tend to a routine that is best for your pet, whether it involve a lot of free roaming and outdoor time, or adhering to crate-training preferences. I’m an advocate for leisurely “sniff walks”, and will ensure your pet gets the stimulation they need. This isn’t a turn-and-burn rush job for me, I’m here to provide what is most enriching for your pet.
“Tricia was awesome with our dog, Miles. She treated him like her own pup and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was very comforting g to know that someone like Tricia was taking care of Miles while we were away a few days. We will be booking her again!”

“My dog had an excellent time staying in Carole’s home while I was working. She has a beautiful home with plenty of space for dogs to run and play. Would definitely recommend!”
“Rob was really great boarding our golden retriever, Archie. You can tell Rob takes pride in being on Rover and being a good caregiver to pets. He took many pics for us, was responsive and even made sure that Archie was comfortable during a few big storms. Went the extra mile and even got extra bones etc. for him.”
“Jason was great! He took such good care of our mini goldendoodle with separation anxiety. Loved getting picture updates, and she had the best time in his awesome backyard with the other dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Rebecca and her husband were fantastic! I have a 7r old female Labrador retriever that is quite anxious and easily panicked. I had her shipped up to Pennsylvania from Texas when i had to move and i needed a place for her to stay while I was out of town. From the moment I booked with them, they were in constant contact and reassurance of her well-being. She stayed with them for about a weeks worth of boarding. I had constant updates through photos and videos multiple times daily. They were both so kind and live in a great neighborhood. They did everything they could to accommodate her to the best of their ability, even went as far as giving her chicken when she wouldn’t eat her food! These folks are a gem in the dog boarding community, and you would be lucky to book with them! They really love and care for animals and treat your pet as if it were their own! I will be using them again anytime I need a sitter for my dog Maddie!”
“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.”
“Ceinwen is absolutely fantastic. She and her lovely two daughters have gone above and beyond to ensure that my fur kids are safe and well cared for when I travel. I can’t give enough stars!!!”
“This was our first time to use Rover.com and we were very pleased with the service. Marla was fantastic. She is very professional, prompt to respond, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. I would highly recommend Marla and her family to care for your pet. Especially enjoyed getting daily pictures of interactions with our dog with Marla and her family (her children are terrific helpers)! Marla gets five stars from this customer!”
“Coleen is fantastic and Id recommend her to anyone! She watched our 5 month old puppy for a long weekend, and even though it was the first time he’d been away from home, he fit right in with Coleen and clearly had a blast! Coleen was very easy to work with, and her communication before and during the puppy’s stay was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be back”
“I am thrilled to have met Kaitlyn!! Kaitlyn took excellent care of my 2 fur babies. She understood the personality of each one, which is very different, and gave them the best care and love. She kept in touch with me and sent me pictures and updates about how they were doing. Needless to say they were happy and loved by her! I am hoping to see her again this summer!”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with pets all my life. Now that I’m an adult I have 5 cats and a dog. I’ve fostered (and foster failed) both cats and dogs over the years. I watch my friend’s pets here and at their homes as well. At my house I have a spare room that can be your animal’s home away from home if they need their own secluded space. I also have a fenced in yard with friendly neighbors who are also animal lovers. Come in the summer and I’ll send you home with some fresh veggies from my garden too! I get up early for work and make sure to leave plenty of time to feed, clean litter boxes and make sure all my four legged babies are ready for the day. Once home in the afternoon and after I lay down on the couch they all come to find me for love and to lay on me for all the pets. At night all are welcome to sleep with me, on the couch or wherever they are the most comfortable. I home almost all day over the weekends except for the morning time on Sundays. I have a fenced in yard so any dogs are able to go outside whenever they need to to play, pee or lay in the sun. I watch my neighbor’s dogs as needed and will go over every 4 or so hours to let them out over the weekends. During the week I let them out before I go to work and then as soon as I come home. I then let them out again before bed around 8pm. I also am able to let them out as needed when they are in a pinch and can’t get home in time. My cats and yours if they come for a stay will have water and toys available to them at all times. They will be fed twice a day with a snack of crunchies before bed. If you needed me to come to your house to take care of your cats and/or dogs, I would be able to come early in the morning, after work and before bed during the week and every 4-6 hours during the weekend. While at your house I can take animals for a walk, play, give pets and love, brush or whatever else is needed. Of course I’d feed them and clean kitty litter boxes or whatever else your babies need. I am good with giving medicine to cats and dogs. I give daily medication to my dog and have had to give cats medicine in the past.
“Jeffrey was my first time using Rover for my dog, Darcy. Jeffrey sent me updates and pictures that really helped me feel good about the care and responsibility he undertakes while watching others' furry family members. I was very pleased with Jeffrey and will definitely use him again if the need arises. Thank you, Jeffrey!”
“Our experience with Kathleen was fantastic; from setting up our meet & greet and throughout Coopers stay. Kathleen sent daily updates & was easy to communicate with, always responding quickly. We will continue to rebook!”
“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”
“Barbara was wonderful! It was immediately obvious that she genuinely enjoys caring for dogs. She was very detailed in her engagement, both in person and over the app. All around a very good person. Unfortunately I did not get the opportunity to meet James. Next time hopefully.”
“Daniel was great with both of my dogs Lots of pictures and has the perfect approach for handling dogs. Property is impressive with a lot of room for our dogs to roam”
