“One of our neighbors recommended Grace to us when our regular sitter stopped boarding. Our dog is very shy and introverted when it comes to people she doesn’t know, and she took to Grace really well. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Both of our pups enjoyed their time with Megan and Vitaliy. They provided a warm loving home with lots of open space to safely explore and enjoy. Megan communicated with us an ample amount which made our time away a lot less stressful. I appreciate them and their care of our dogs.”
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“Lorraine provided a wonderful home-away-from-home for my senior dog. She certainly gave him the royal treatment and he clearly enjoyed his stay with her. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was happy and comfortable. Everything about our experience using Lorraine's dog hosting service was exceptional. She provided quick updates and photos of our dog having fun, which we really enjoyed while away. She was also very flexible and responsive to communications. I highly recommend Lorraine as a dog host!”
“We had such a great experience with Catherine! She was super responsive from the start and answered all our questions, which made us feel really comfortable booking with her. Chippy had the best time at her place. He got along so well with her dog and family. Catherine sent us regular updates and photos, and we came home to a happy, tired pup. She even went out of her way to drop off Chippy’s bed when we accidentally left it behind. We’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“I have not left my puppy much with sitters for long period of time so I was very nervous and scared since we were going to go away for a week. Alyssa was simply amazing. She took care of Louie like her own. We had to leave him with her for an extra day as our flight got delayed and she assured us that Louie is fine and well taken care of. when I went to pick Louie he didn’t want to come home with me and sat by her feet. He came home a bit sad to leave Alyssa but also happy and tired. We will definitely leave Louie with her the next time we have to go on vacation. Highly recommend Alyssa.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Meagan was very communicative and sent multiple pictures and videos of our boy. We will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Meagan!”
“Betsy did a wonderful job taking care of our girl! She was super accommodating to all of her specific needs and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. It was such a relief to know Remy was in good hands and with someone who treated her as one of her own. I definitely recommend booking with Betsy. Remy is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“We moved to Lancaster recently and were anxious about finding a good and reliable dog sitter. We were so happy with how she cared for our dog in her home and won’t hesitate to use her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life from German Shepherds to our little cavachon. Since my kids are getting older and don’t need as much help, I have time to take care of your precious pets when you need it! I’m here to take care of everyone! My day is full of making sure every person and every pet has what they need! Walking, sleeping, eating, drinking, and mess making-someone has to take care of it all! I have a good sized yard and a nice wooded park with walking paths nearby for daily walks and outside time. Our home is clean and comfortable with big kids coming and going who love animals like I do!
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
“Kaylee was awesome to work with, from the time we 1st contacted her for a meet and greet with her dog and ours, to the day we picked her up. Communication was great, letting us know how our girl was doing and pictures daily +. We will definitely use again if/when the need arises. Thank you Kaylee for loving on Zoey like she was your own. ❤️”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve fostered and rescued dogs, cats, litters of puppies, and litters of kittens, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Through fostering, I’ve worked with a wide range of temperaments, including shy and fearful animals, high-energy pets, senior pets, and those needing extra patience and reassurance. I’m comfortable reading animal body language, following care instructions, administering basic medications when needed, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. As a pet owner and foster caregiver, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and plenty of updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to treating your pets like they’re part of my own family! I currently work part time, mostly from home with flexible hours. I could easily accommodate your schedule so your baby is well taken care of when you are away. I spoil my pets with lots of love and would do the same with yours! If you have any specific routines or feeding regimens I have no problem sticking to them to keep consistency for your pet.
“We left our yorkie, Richie with Julia for over a week and Julia took great care of Richie, took him on regular long walks, shared pictures and videos of Richie and ensured that he ate well and kept him comfortable in her home. Thanks to Julia we were worry free about Richie on our vacation”
“Happily rescheduled our vacation to make sure our dog could stay here again. He always comes back to me extremely happy, Charissa is like a second home to Cosmo, as long as she’s willing to have him I’ll always rebook with her”
“Enrica and her husband are above and beyond, they are super warm and welcoming! Both meet & greet arrangement and App communications are smooth and swift. They care and treat your pet as their own. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter than Rita. She took excellent care of our dog Juno for 10 days, giving him plenty of love and attention. Her small dog Barley was the perfect playmate for Juno as they’re about the same size and age. Rita updated us with photos, videos, and messages giving us peace of mind that Juno was happy and being well cared for. Rita is friendly, easy to communicate with, and knowledgeable about dog behavior and care. We felt confident that Juno was in the hands of a responsible, professional sitter who not only watched after our dog, but willingly treated him as if he were part of her family, giving him lots of love, attention, and play. We will definitely hire Rita again for future trips.”
“Genalind was communicative and understanding of schedule changes with the snow storm. I liked working with her, and it seemed like my dog enjoyed her time with her too!”

“I felt confident that my cats were in good hands when we went away. My girls are older and have medical needs, so finding someone who can handle that is important. My girls also warmed to her immediately on the meet and greet! She is very personable, professional, and great with animals. Will definitely be working with her again!”
“Lila was wonderful, thoughtful and gentle with Sparky. We came home and he was happy and we felt that he was well taken care of. The daily check ins were fun and we felt comfortable and relaxed that he was with a kind and compassionate person. Thank you again for all you did.”
About: As a cat owner myself, I know every cat has their own little personality! I've cared for cats over the years and am comfortable with everything from feeding and litter box cleaning to playtime and cuddles. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers to do their own thing, I'm happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages through fostering and personal pet ownership. I’ve cared for everything from newborn orphaned kittens requiring bottle feeding to senior cats needing extra patience and specialized care. My experience includes socializing shy or fearful cats, caring for pregnant and nursing mothers, monitoring litter box habits and health concerns, administering medications when needed, and helping newly rescued cats adjust to home environments. I’ve also cared for multi-cat households (like my own!) and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’m committed to providing compassionate care while maintaining their normal routine and reducing stress while you’re away.
“Kailyn was very responsive and communicative from the start. She sent lots of great photos of Rex and offered such a great peace of mind knowing that he was in great hands while we were away. I highly recommend her and will book again with her in the future!”
“Rachel is great with our pets, prompt and friendly with communication, and overall a sitter I would highly recommend!! She always allows us to enjoy our trips knowing that there is someone trustworthy checking in on the cats.”
“Stephen was awesome to work with. I needed someone last minute and he was able to come check on my dog multiple times per day while I was working 12+ hour shifts all weekend. He knows that our dogs are family and treated mine as his own. Will be booking him again when the need comes.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gap
“Our terrier mix puppy has been going to Grace’s for a few weeks now (2x weekly for a full work day) and I can’t say enough good things! My husband and I found Grace because on the days my husband can’t come home during lunch, we didn’t want our puppy to be crated or left unattended all day. Grace and her family treat our puppy like their own dog, she becomes part of their family while she’s there. She gets tons of playtime, attention, affection. I absolutely love seeing the “report card” pictures after each day. It’s very clear my puppy is well cared for during her visits. It’s now to the point when we’re pulling up to Grace’s, our puppy gets excited because she knows where she’s at! 10/10 recommend!”

“Angelita and her wonderful family were absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment we arrived, they welcomed her with so much love and care that she felt right at home. Angelita updated us with photos, messages, and little stories about her day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

“Loved having Diane as a sitter. Sophie loved her and so did we. She’s high energy and Duane saw she had lots of walks and activity. You’d never be disappointed with Diane. Thanks so much for loving on our girl for the day. Thx for the umbrella too♥️”
“No words to say how wonderful and easygoing Megan and Vitaliy were. Edison felt right at home immediately and I had no worries. They gave him plenty of space to play and explore. I don’t think Edison cared if I would have ever come back to get him. Can’t recommend them enough ❤️❤️”
“Jordan was exactly what my wife and I needed for our dog Rosie. We found ourselves unexpectedly needing a someone to watch Rosie for the day while my wife and I attended a weeding in town. Because Rosie needs some special attention after having been attacked when she was younger by another dog, it was important to find someone that could take care of Rosie the way she needed. Jordan was just that. She was easy to communicate with a responsive during Rosie’s entire stay, talking me through what she was up to and sending pictures and videos as well. Jordan even went above and beyond by introducing Rosie to her wonderfully well behaved and trained dog. Rosie can be unpredictable with other dogs, but She got along just fine with Jordan’s Shepard. I’d gladly bring Rosie back here any time I’m in town and would recommend anyone looking for a sitter do the same.”
“D was so sweet, kind, and caring! You can tell she has a heart for all animals. My dog Eli had the best time playing with the other dogs and cats. D even sent pictures and videos of the fun. My goal was to have him run off some energy and have socialization while I’m working and her lovely little farm definitely provided that.”
“Samantha and her soon to be husband are definitely dog lovers. Are skittish standard poodle puppy who is the size of a small horse took to both of them right away. This was his first time being away from us with strangers, with the exception of what he goes to the groomers, they kept us up-to-date with adorable pictures and a progress report. We will definitely be using them in the future for overnight visits!”
“Great sitters for our dog Meadow who tends to have a little separation anxiety. She felt very comfortable and at home there. I would definitely recommend to anyone.”

I promise you will not be dissatisfied with her professionalism and doggy knowledge.”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, I was the kid who wanted to meet every pet I came across, and that passion has only grown into adulthood. Along with having my own two dogs and cat, I've spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, treating each one as if they were my own. I also worked as a stablehand at a local farm, where I cared for a wide variety of animals—including cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, cows, and even swans. I've also volunteered with dog walking programs in the city, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion with someone new. That's why my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe communication, reliability, and attention to detail are incredibly important when caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy, and I would love to help you! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work a typical 9–5 during the week and have some flexibility for evening visits, but I primarily focus on pet care on weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, attentive care while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they're able to stick to their normal routine, so I always do my best to follow each owner's instructions and provide care that's tailored to their pet's needs. Whether I'm stopping by for visits, going on walks, or caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course provide plenty of attention and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Hello! I have been in the animal care industry for almost two decades. During this time I was certified as an Animal Care Technician. My training taught me proper handling, how to read body language, and how to gauge temperament in each pet. I have dealt with dogs and cats of various sizes and ages. Other qualifications that set me apart include administering medication to pets, bathing dogs, and teaching dogs basic commands. While visiting your pet I can provide light house-keeping. I have a genuine passion for animals, and hope to someday pursue a career in the field. Thank you for your consideration! Looking for pets who need lunch visits/walks! I enjoy taking care of pets in my spare time. I relish getting out of my house as I currently work from home. I try to treat every pet as if it were my own. When coming into a client's home, I am respectful, and try to leave things in better condition than I found them.
About: Hi, I’m Matt! Throughout middle school and high school, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, providing care to various dogs. I’ve dog sat for a few people I know personally, providing drop in visits, overnight care and walks. Additionally, I've grown up with dogs, and we currently have three of our own who I’m with every day and love very much. I’m a college student (currently on break from classes) who works part time, so my availability is built around this. This means my week to week availability may not always look the same, but I will leave my schedule open for Rover whenever I can, ensuring I provide your dog with proper care. When caring for your dog in your home, they will always be safe and sound. For drop in visits, I will make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine to ensure their comfort. For walks, I will follow your dog’s pace, while always keeping my hand through the loop of the leash and wrapped around my wrist to keep them secure.
About: Hi! I’m Jenna and I absolutely love dogs. I enjoy being outdoors and I go for a run every day, so staying active with dogs comes naturally to me. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just making sure they get the attention they need while their owners are away, I’m happy to help. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. As a teacher, my schedule also allows me extra flexibility, especially during the summer, so I’m able to offer more availability for walks and check-ins. I enjoy helping pets stay active, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine and instructions provided by the owner so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, and any feeding or medication they need. I also keep owners updated so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Claudia is great!! Our dog, Winnie, is especially wary of new people and can be quite intimidated when they come through the door. Claudia took her time with our nervous gal, and quickly and successfully leashed her up and got her outside. She even noticed that Winnie seems more at ease with new people outside and spent some time sitting outside in the shade with her! It is so nice to know that someone will consider your pets as much as she does, and I am so appreciative of her care for our dog! She was also very punctual and kept us updated with pictures!”

About: When I was 8 my father surprised me with our first ever dog Harley! I fell in love instantly and am so grateful to have grown up with him in our family. When I grew older I took on more rolls taking care of Harley which gave me basic experience in pet care. When he was a senior dog I learned a lot through his medical issues like how to handle medicine and emergency vet visits. Our late dog, Dobby gave me puppy experience showing me how much time, care, and patience is needed for little pups. Anything you need for your dog I’m willing to do! Im a part time college student who also works part time as a server! This opportunity seems like something that could perfectly for my unusual schedule. Dog walking and quick house stop-ins would be my speciality! House sitting and at home sitting is something that would be most easiest if done with a notice in advance:) With the years of experience you can trust me with your home and your pets! I’m a college girl looking for an opportunity that benefits both parties, it’s just a bonus that I love animals! In my care, you and your pets have absolutely nothing to worry about.

I can administer medication and I’m fine with crate training or fee roam of the house!

I’m comfortable with larger breed dogs such as pit bulls, German shepherds, etc. I also have experience and am comfortable with animals who need special care such as medication administration.

I have a very flexible schedule so I’m available for several visits per day and can spend extended amounts of time with your pets every day if needed. I have no problem taking dogs on long walks or playing with cats, and I am a clean freak when it comes to cat litter so be assured their bathroom will always be spotless!

I have a house that’s very spacious and a very friendly dog to keep your animal company and if need be I can crate mine so yours can enjoy their time while you’re away. Sending many photos to your phone so you know your pet is in a safe environment is crucial!

“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“I have not left my puppy much with sitters for long period of time so I was very nervous and scared since we were going to go away for a week. Alyssa was simply amazing. She took care of Louie like her own. We had to leave him with her for an extra day as our flight got delayed and she assured us that Louie is fine and well taken care of. when I went to pick Louie he didn’t want to come home with me and sat by her feet. He came home a bit sad to leave Alyssa but also happy and tired. We will definitely leave Louie with her the next time we have to go on vacation. Highly recommend Alyssa.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Meagan was very communicative and sent multiple pictures and videos of our boy. We will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Meagan!”

It was such a relief to know Remy was in good hands and with someone who treated her as one of her own. I definitely recommend booking with Betsy. Remy is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“We moved to Lancaster recently and were anxious about finding a good and reliable dog sitter. We were so happy with how she cared for our dog in her home and won’t hesitate to use her again. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve fostered and rescued dogs, cats, litters of puppies, and litters of kittens, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Through fostering, I’ve worked with a wide range of temperaments, including shy and fearful animals, high-energy pets, senior pets, and those needing extra patience and reassurance. I’m comfortable reading animal body language, following care instructions, administering basic medications when needed, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. As a pet owner and foster caregiver, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and plenty of updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to treating your pets like they’re part of my own family! I currently work part time, mostly from home with flexible hours. I could easily accommodate your schedule so your baby is well taken care of when you are away. I spoil my pets with lots of love and would do the same with yours! If you have any specific routines or feeding regimens I have no problem sticking to them to keep consistency for your pet.

“Absolutely wonderful pet care! Tanya and David were extremely accommodating to our two large dogs (rottweiler, belgian malinois). They have specialized diets that werent an issue and we received updates throughout our entire trip. You could tell they really care about your fur buddy just as much as you do. Definitely will be rebooking in the future.”
