“This was our second stay with Jaideep and we’re very happy with the thoughtfulness and care he took of Nova. She seemed very happy and relaxed with her stay. We will use him again for future needs. I highly recommend Jaideep and his wife.”

“Angel and her family treat my Rex and me so well! However, the best reference is when I pick up Rex, on the way to the car, he turns around, trots back to Angel's gate and barks for to let him back in HER house. Is it a bad thing when you ate jealous of your "Rover Angel" because your fur baby does not want to leave when you pick him up...as I said, this is the best reference. Angel....Thank you!!”

“Goose was so happy after his overnight stay with Oleg! He was able to play and get lots of love at his house. Oleg was responsive and flexible with us to make it a pleasant experience for us just as much as it was for Goose!”

“De'Andra and Robert were fantastic. They kept me up to date with photos and videos from Winnie's stay. I had some weird scheduling issues and the worked with me to make sure my baby was taken care of! Crosby was also very welcoming to my pup :)”

“They did an amazing job with Jax. Said that Jax got along great with there dogs. Great communication and was so understanding with my flight cancellations to come back home to get him. Definitely recommend!”

“Kathy is always wonderful with our dogs!! Daisy has had some physical restrictions due to an injury and she was very accommodating! She even got them some treats and wouldnt take money for them when I offered! We will definitely use her again!”


“Michelle did a fantastic job with my pup. She followed all my little tips for feeding her, went on walks, made sure my dog wasn’t anxious, and made my pup feel at home. Michelle also sent pics of my pup, was very flexible for drill-off and pick-up times, and was very communicative! Would absolutely recommend!”

“Rocky seemed to have a good time there. He got to play with their dogs and everything went well. Steffany was polite and positive. Would definitely use them to sit Rocky again.”

“Heather is an excellent sitter who loves dogs. She watched our 2 babies and they seemed happy and well cared for. Heather sent pictures to us every day. It helped us to know our babies were doing well. This is our first experience with Heather, She will be our first choice in sitter when we look for somewhere to keep our pups when we are out of town.”
“Bobbi was amazing and one of a kind. I have no worries when she watched my baby boy. She kept me updated with photos, open communication, and shared videos throughout the few days which made my mama's heart worry less. I will not hesitate to rebook her. I joked that I wanted to stay because of her welcoming, sweet presence. Absolutely genuinely will rebook Bobbi. Chance will be so happy to come play with her 2 little lovely girls again!”

“This was my first time leaving my 8yo pitbull lab mix Maui Wowie with a non-family member and it went off without a hitch! Sandra has a fantastic rural property that any dog will love. Maui LOVED hanging outside and the fun day-to-day activities Sandra and her family provided. Sandra treated my dog just like family.”

“Rodger was amazing with our geriatric Golden Retriever (14 years old!). Albus was kept in constant comfort and very much enjoyed spending time with Roger's older Golden, Bailey. I got regular photo and text updates throughout our trip. We will use Rodger againn!”
“That was my first time with Rover and Anton did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog. I would definitely recommend him to take care of your pet. I got daily updates and pictures of Ernie, and he looked like he was well taken care of. Thank you so much for everything Anton!!!!”

“Amazing as always!! This is the second time I’ve booked with Laura this year, and she’s just wonderful. She’s so dedicated, keeps me updated with how my pup is doing, and always makes sure everything goes smoothly. My dog absolutely loves her, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“I could tell when I picked up my dogs that they got lots of attention while they were there. The home environment was a much better environment than a boarding kennel. They were a very loving family.”

“Sandra was so sweet to my little kitty Thor. Thank you for making a special safe place for him for a few days. I appreciate your help, Thor was very well taken care of.”

“Hanna did an excellent job stopping by my house each day to care for my two cats while I was away on a trip. She fed them, cleaned and filled their water bowls, cleaned the litter boxes, disposed of the litter in the garbage can outside, and paid special attention to them each day ❤️. It was awesome that she sent me photos and videos of her petting and playing with them! And it let me know that they were in good hands while I was away. I can’t express my gratitude enough. Thank you, Hanna!”


About: I've always had dogs and cats in our home growing up, and I have more than 30 years of pet-care experience, from puppies and kittens to elder-pet care. I have 2 cats and 1 dog that live in our house. Zoey is my dog, Archie and Theo are 2 orange cats and are brothers. I have more than enough rooms if your pet needs their own space, I can even give them their own room if necessary. I am happy to accommodate any pet's needs, to ensure that they have a safe and happy time.

About: I’ve cared for my aunt’s two cats, handling feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them attention at their own pace. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level.

“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: My strongest background is in cat care, and most of my professional experience has come from working directly with cats in a rescue shelter setting. I spent years supporting cats with every personality and need, from confident social friends to shy friends who shut down from stress. I worked closely with veterinarians and served as a vet tech at the shelter, gaining hands on experience with medical care, behavior support, and safe handling for cats in all conditions. My work included caring for furry friends who were anxious, grieving, recovering from medical procedures, or adjusting to major changes, and I learned how to respond with calm guidance and steady communication. I have managed medication routines, wound care, special diets, mobility challenges, and long term treatment plans for cats who rely on consistent support. My behavior experience includes reading subtle body language, supporting stressed or overwhelmed friends, and helping cats build confidence through gentle interaction and predictable routines. I have also fostered many different cats, including seniors, kittens, medical cases, and friends who needed extra time to feel safe in a home environment. I have also been trusted to support furry friends during palliative care, something I approach with deep respect. Being asked to be present for a friend in their most vulnerable moments is a quiet honor, and I always offer steadiness, comfort, and calm attention. My shelter team often turned to me for these situations because of the way I understood each friend’s needs and the gentle presence I brought to difficult moments. Those experiences taught me how meaningful it is to provide warmth and reassurance when a friend needs it most, and they continue to shape the way I care for every pet I meet. My personal connection to cats is just as strong as my professional one. I grew up with cats, loved them even during the times when I didn’t have any around, and now share my life with two cats I rescued off the streets. I love my cats as fiercely as I love my child, and I would do anything for them. Caring for them every day has deepened my understanding of how cats communicate through small gestures, quiet moments, and the comfort they look for when they feel understood. Every furry friend is welcomed with patience, respect, and genuine care. Whether a cat arrives playful, unsure, energetic, or needing quiet reassurance, I adjust to their pace and their comfort level. My goal is always to meet each friend exactly where they are and provide care that fits their personality, medical needs, and emotional state.
“Mikayla is an amazing sitter and set my mind at ease the entire time we were away by sending pics and updates with every visit. When we met her, we could tell she has so much compassion and love for all animals. I feel lucky to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”


About: I've owned cats for 35 years, most of them being rescues. I've cared for kitty cats of all ages, including feeding, changing litter, and administering medications. Currently, I am caring for my own elderly cat who requires daily doses or oral medication. I absolutely love playtime with kittens and snuggling with the seniors.

“Amber has been a gem! We recently moved across country from CA. My pups took to her immediately and Liberty was glued to her hip! She has shown exceptional love and care for my pups in a very short time period and I am forever grateful that we found her!”

“Katlyn is fantastic. Always sends the best notes and photos during check-ins with our cat. She’s very responsive and extremely nice. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby!”


“They always take great care of my cats. I feel at easy knowing my babies are safe. My cat made friends with their male cat, and the chocolate lab Padme is so sweet! Will return.”

“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”

“Dawn was AWESOME! She took perfect care of our boy , and her dog was a new buddy to play with! She went above and beyond playing with him , which was so cool (to tire him out before our road trip with him 😜)”

About: I’ve taken care of cats for 16+ years, my dog for 7 years and counting, and I briefly worked at Canine Clubhouse for almost 2 months. I am available for dog sitting, doggy daycare, and cat sitting since I am a stay at home mom to my 2 amazing boys and I have 1 dog and 2 cats. At home my cats are grazers and eat when they want to and my dog gets fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food and has to be let outside on a leash because our backyard is not currently fenced in.
About: Hello! Justin and I have both had all types of pets our entire lives. Dogs, cats, birds, fish and even a few reptiles! Justin is the son of a veterinarian and has had experience with many types of animals. Our daughters have never not shared a home with a furry best friend and are both nurturing animal lovers. We currently share our home with a very lovable hound mix pup (Finn) that we adopted from a local rescue at 4 months old. We also adopted an adult rescue kitty (Lewis) in the spring of 2022. Lewis and Finn are best buddies! Finn’s mission in life is to befriend everyone he meets, especially dogs!! He’d love to be your pups BFF while staying in our home. We have a gated deck that leads to a fenced in pup play area to safely and leisurely enjoy the fresh air and sunshine on nice days. We enjoy taking frequent walks in our very low traffic rural neighborhood. Our family would love to provide your pup with a loving, safe retreat while you enjoy a guilt free getaway knowing your best friend is being well taken care of and treated like part of the family. Caring for pets is my full time job so I can accommodate your pups needs and give him lots of attention throughout the day and night. I am the primary care giver and Justin fills in when I need to run an errand or have an appointment. Our home is very puppy proofed because our doggy can be mischievous. Our kitty has full run of the lower level of our home but he does come up and interact with everyone.
About: I’ve been an animal lover since day one! From playful pups to cuddly cats, I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I share my days with an energetic dog who keeps me on my toes, and I can’t wait to bring that same fun, adventure, and care to your pet’s day! I share my days with a lovable Goldendoodle who fills my life with joy, keeps me on my toes, as well as making every day brighter! We take our dog on daily walks. This helps to get both our kids and dog some exercise. I feed our dog two times a day. This schedule will be flexible for us to have another dog in the house and give it attention.

About: I have cared for my family's pets for over 30 years, I love meeting new animals and getting to know their personality! I have experience at every stage of a pet's life, from puppies and kittens to elder pets. I have experience administering mediation, caring to your pet's specific needs, assisting disabled pets, training puppies and crate training. I am dedicated to being a caring and thoughtful pet-sitter. I love animals and can't wait to meet your special friend! I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog, Zoey, is a 2-year-old puppy that I got at 12 weeks old, so my puppy training skills are fresh! I also have 2 cats, Archie and Theo, who are brother cats from the same litter. I've had them since they were kittens. Zoey grew up with the cats, so she is well trained with cats and she is very well behaved. Zoey and the cats get along with other animals very well. They are sweet, loving pets that play together and nap side-by-side. I work from home full time, so I am always at the house. I am very flexible to whatever your pet's routine is. Whatever they need, I can incorporate it into my day. At booking, I will provide a questionnaire and you can advise me of any needs or requests for your pet's routine, and I will make their routine a part of mine! In my home, I provide pets with several comfortable areas for them to lounge and sleep in, with bedding and blankets. I also provide several toys and chew toys that are usually left out for them to play with (unless requested not to). Meals are kept on schedule and any mediation or vitamins are administered on-time. Water is always filtered and clean, changed daily (or use a continuous running system). Safety is my top priority. I want to ensure that your pet has a safe and relaxing time during their stay, I will provide a separate room for your animal if needed or requested, with their own bedding and play-area. I have several rooms in the house that are not used, so I keep this space reserved for your pets. I will collect your vet information at booking and take your pet to their vet if necessary; I also am a member of the local Dauphin County Animal Hospital, which I can use if needed for emergencies. I will maintain communication with you and check-in daily with photos; I am also open to take any inquiries, if you would like to check-in on your pets.
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.

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I provide a calm, attentive home environment where pets are treated like family and receive plenty of love, playtime, and regular walks. I share my home with cats, so dogs must be comfortable around them. My cats are well-adjusted and do well with dogs, but they may choose to hide around higher-energy pups. They are not comfortable being chased or cornered, so I only accept dogs that are respectful of their space. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes, from small dogs to large breeds, as well as pets with different temperaments. I’m also experienced with special needs pets and administering medications, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine and behavior. I provide consistent supervision and personalized care to ensure a safe, low-stress environment for everyone in my home. You can also expect regular updates with photos, so you always feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. I closely follow each pet’s established routine: feeding, walks, and any special care, to create a familiar, low-stress environment. I provide care in a calm, structured home environment and only accept dogs from one family at a time. This allows for a lower-stress stay and ensures your dog receives my full attention and personalized care. Each dog’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. I provide frequent walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Dogs are not crated unless requested by the owner to maintain their normal routine. For everyone’s safety and comfort, dogs must be house-trained, cat-friendly, and able to coexist respectfully in a home environment. I offer Meet & Greets for all new clients so we can ensure a good fit for everyone. Additionally, my experience working on Rover’s Trust & Safety team has given me a strong understanding of pet behavior, risk awareness, and best practices in providing safe, reliable care.
“Not sure where to start here, We had Kayla stay at our house just during the day to watch my boyfriend's Service Dog Colt. We were extremely nervous because he has never been cared for by anyone other than us and she was absolutely amazing. She made what would have been a stressful situation a breeze. Kayla was so incredibly kind, sweet and professional. She was on time every morning and sent updates throughout the day. We will surely be booking her for next year.”

“We are new to the area and this is the first time we have used Anton. My dog Lancelot enjoyed his visit and received a warm welcome and he felt relaxed upon the meet and greet. Right from the start he made Lancelot feel comfortable and he felt right at home. Anton is very responsive and kind and he sends updates with photos. Knowing your pet is cared for makes me enjoy my time away even more! I have already booked another visit with Anton. Thank you Anton!”

About: Grew up with dogs in the family. A collie and a husky. Currently have a beagle that is 6 years old. Had her since she was 9 weeks old. We walk every day.

I'm at your service to care for your fur baby in whatever capacity you need. From short check ins or walks during the day to over night care. I'm very dependable, caring and will honor you specific needs.
“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: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like. I am currently working full-time (about 15 minutes away from home), but my boyfriend (also a Rover sitter) works from home and can do daily potty breaks if needed.
About: I have grown up and cared for pets my whole life. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets for years! I work from home Monday-Friday 9-5. So I will be with your fur baby all day. I am always available to give them frequent bathroom breaks throughout the day, and walks/playtime on my lunch breaks, as well mornings and evenings. I love to go for long walks or runs around the yard, playing fetch or whatever it is your fur baby may need to get their energy out!
About: Hello! I am home for the summer and looking to spend my time with adorable pets and show them some love! I have been taking care of my two dogs since the 5th grade and I just graduated college. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’m also content chilling on the couch and watching doggies nap. Most days I don’t have any obligations throughout the whole day and can work my daily tasks and errands around walking or checking on dogs. I always make sure my pets have water available all the time, especially in the summer. My dogs usually go on a leash when they are outside, and I feel most comfortable walking dogs with a leash. My dogs eat at the same time every day and get lots of attention when inside.
“Kat is AMAZING! She got back to me immediately and was so kind about my dog mom anxieties. She sent pictures and videos and gave my dogs so much attention! They already love her and we’ll definitely be using her again!!!”

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**

It helped us to know our babies were doing well. This is our first experience with Heather, She will be our first choice in sitter when we look for somewhere to keep our pups when we are out of town.”
“Kona loved her stay with Pam and Mike! And we felt so good leaving her with them. Lots of photos and updates while we were away. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”


“This was my first time leaving my 8yo pitbull lab mix Maui Wowie with a non-family member and it went off without a hitch! Sandra has a fantastic rural property that any dog will love. Maui LOVED hanging outside and the fun day-to-day activities Sandra and her family provided. Sandra treated my dog just like family.”

“Rodger was amazing with our geriatric Golden Retriever (14 years old!). Albus was kept in constant comfort and very much enjoyed spending time with Roger's older Golden, Bailey. I got regular photo and text updates throughout our trip. We will use Rodger againn!”
“Amazing as always!! This is the second time I’ve booked with Laura this year, and she’s just wonderful. She’s so dedicated, keeps me updated with how my pup is doing, and always makes sure everything goes smoothly. My dog absolutely loves her, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“I could tell when I picked up my dogs that they got lots of attention while they were there. The home environment was a much better environment than a boarding kennel. They were a very loving family.”

“Sandra was so sweet to my little kitty Thor. Thank you for making a special safe place for him for a few days. I appreciate your help, Thor was very well taken care of.”

“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”

“Heather and her family immediately put me at ease. I knew Brady would be in great hands! She sent the sweetest pictures of Brady. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”

“I felt very good about the care I was receiving from videos and pictures. I felt max was in good hands and it showed a very well organised house with a fenced in yard in the back. I will definitely use him again. Thanks again”

“Boris was well taken care of! He was with Elizabeth for 10 days, I got pictures and updates every other day. And he loved playing with Elizabeth’s dog. He’s properly happy and tired after all the fun he had.”

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.

“I trust Tiffany with Basil; she makes sure she is very well taken care of and I never have to worry. Basil is always very happy during her visits with Tiffany and it shows.”

“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”

“Sandy took great care of my puppy Ginger while we were out of town. She communicated with me throughout the boarding and sent lots of updates and photos. I would definitely use Sandy for boarding in the future and I recommend her to others.”
