“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”
“We left pepino, our young high energy dog with Jaideep for a week. He did a great job taking care of pepino and keeping us updated regularly during our travels so we knew everything was going well. We would love to have Jaideep take care of pepino again in the future.”
“The most outstanding sitters of all time. They truly took care of my dog like he was their own, gave me constant updates and always made sure my dog felt comfortable happy and healthy no matter what the extent. They really out did themselves! :)”
“Desiree is AMAZING! She is so personable and our dog absolutely loved her. She kept us updated on how our puppy was doing and is very flexible. We would highly recommend her to watch your fur baby.”
“I DEFINITELY recommend Angel and will rebook with her if I need boarding in the future. Angel was responsive to all messages and seemed like she really loves dogs. She sent pictures during his stay and he seemed like he had enjoyed himself when I came by to pick him up. Thanks Angel for taking care of my Denim on such short notice.”
“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.”
“Tiffany immediately put us at ease. The attention she paid, not only to our needs, but the needs of our dog also. She kept us informed as to the activities she and Andy were doing, and sent numerous photos. He acted like he didn’t want to leave at the end of his stay.”
“Teresa kept my Bella for 10 days while I was gone for my wedding and honeymoon. She kept me updated with pictures and videos while I was gone which was great! When I returned Bella was happy and calm! Anytime I board her a the vet she is a bit wound up and upset when I get back. This wasn’t the case after staying with Teresa! Thank you for taking care of Bella!”
“You guys are the best! We appreciate your fast responses and being flexible with our travel delays. Diesel is always slumped when he gets home, so we know he has fun!!”
“Dana and Jonathan were amazing with our dog Bear. They arranged a meet and greet before booking the boarding, and were kind and welcoming. They took care of our Bear and sent us pictures and videos while we were away. I can’t speak highly enough of their service and care for our dog!”
“Rosa and her daughters cared for my Luna like she was their own. Their home was clean and orderly and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. They sent lots of videos while I was away and Luna seemed to have a great time with them and was happy and healthy when I picked her up. I was in town for a camping trip and she was very flexible with drop off and pick-up and was consistent and responsive with communication. Will definitely use her again if I’m in the area.”
“Michelle took such good care of Fury for our long weekend away! He was quite a handful and she handled him so well and with such a great attitude. She gave him tons of play time, walks, and affection while she was home with him. She stayed in constant communication while we were gone and gave us regular updates, including pictures and video of their time together. Michelle is great and I’m sure our pup will miss her!”
“Caitlin is great! I knew my girl would be in good hands during the meet and greet. She provided updates throughout the entire stay. I was completely at ease, not one worry. Reese loves her!”
“Heather is a great doggie sitter! She boarded our little guy, Obi, and he seemed very well cared for and loved. Special thanks to you Heather for taking him a few hours earlier than expected.”
“Kayla is awesome! My dog always has a great time and we always get a lot of pictures and updates from Kayla. She is a great communicator and we always feel confident when we leave Zuri with her. We have used Kayla several times and we will continue to book with her in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and have plenty of experience taking care of them. Whether that be brushing, clipping nails, cleaning, etc I’m your girl! I have a calming aura that helps me connect with them as well :)
“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!”
“Sadie was so wonderful and it's clear she really cares about animals! She was attentive and playful and I felt very reassured having her watch my little kitty while I was away.”
“I can’t say how thankful I am! Heather was absolutely amazing!! I loved the videos, the pictures, the updates….it made my time away from my girls a little easier knowing they were being loved on and well taken care of. I would recommend Heather 1000%!”
“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I have always had a connection with animals. I wasn't able to get my first pet until I was 10 and it was a guinea pig...fast forward 22 years and that connection and passion for animals has not changed. I worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years including school, most of which was in Maine. I no longer work as a technician but still love to fill my time with taking care of people's pets. I currently have a pretty open schedule. The only reason I would not be able to do certain days would be due to medical appointments or family obligations. When I care for your pet I will be able to spend as much time playing, walking, relaxing. Whatever you and they may want or need. I am able to give medication including insulin and fluids.
About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages! I’m also comfortable administering medications and handling any accidents or messes that may happen. As a pet caregiver, my top priorities are making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining open and reliable communication with their owners. I look forward to giving your pets the same care and attention I’d give my own! Pet care fits well into my weekly schedule! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable care. I’m available before and after work on Mondays and Thursdays (8:30 AM–5:00 PM), and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I finish work at 12:30 PM, leaving the rest of the day available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended care. I also only work one Friday each month, making most Fridays completely open. I’m committed to being dependable and ensuring your pet receives the attention, care, and love they deserve! When caring for your pet in your home, I will always follow your routine and respect your wishes. I’ll provide the care, attention, exercise, and any medications your pet needs while keeping your home clean, secure, and treated with the utmost respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Molly is very kind, quick to respond, and during her drop in with Onion provided plenty of updates on him, his food, water, and litter. Pretty much everything we asked for and more!”
“Once again, such wonderfully loving care for my cat :) I have never had such piece of mind! Brandy is thorough, consistent, and very patient. I feel more than comfortable leaving my animals in her care.”
About: Hey!! I’ve had cats my entire life! I enjoy caring for them! In my lifetime, I’ve cared for many cats, ranging from kittens, young cats, and elderly cats! I am comfortable administering medication, feeding them, and anything else they may need!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since as early as I can remember. Honestly I get along with animals better then people! We've always had a dog and more recently cats. My in-laws ask for my help when they take a trip and I am always happy to help! Currently I am caring for my kids during most of the day but I am open on evenings and weekends as needed! I'll try to fit anything in that I can! I'll always greet the animals first and make sure they are comfortable with me. Then I check for water and food. Once I make sure those are good we are off for play time or walk time!
About: I have cared for friends cats in the past, providing drop in visits two times each day. This included feeding, scooping the litter box, washing and changing out water and food bowls, and playing with the cats for a little bit.
“Victoria is excellent! It was the first time I needed to leave my cat at home and I was nervous about finding the right support. Victoria provided me with clarity, daily updates, commitment, friendship and kindness. Sakura (my cat) was in good hands, thanks to Victoria!”

“Pirate can be a very picky and stubborn indoor/outdoor cat. I used several cat sitters that were not able to form a bond with him. Amanda DID!!! She took such good care of our kitty while we were on vacation. It was so obvious Pirate loved her!!!! She provided pictures every night to let us know he was safe from the rural nights 😊 I felt totally at ease and was able to fully trust Amanda… and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book her again. Thank you Amanda!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Highspire
“Dan and his wife were excellent doggy hosts. They made drop-off and pickup quick and simple. They gave picture updates and were great with communicating. I also loved that my spoiled dog had a couch to nap on. I will book again.”
“Rosa and her daughters took very good care of our puppy, Rosie during our stay in the Harrisburg area when we took a day trip to Hershey Park. She was very good at communicating to us throughout the day by sending lots of photos and videos of our pup! 10/10 recommend and will 100% use again whenever I am in the area and need a dog sitter. Thank you again for everything, we appreciate you and your care greatly!! Happy 4th of July!”
“Molly was so communicative and kind! She was quick to respond even though it was a lasts minute booking. She provided pictures and updates throughout the day and I cannot recommend her enough!”
“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.”
About: 6/2026 UPDATE: After a long hiatus, I am back to dog sitting. It's a long story but my house burned down and it took years to get back into, a car accident, etc. However, I would like to start sitting other dogs again. I have my own dog, a bullmastiff named Bodi, who turned a year old in May 2026. He's 130+ lbs so far. He's a big big baby. He's very well socialized and goes to the dog park frequently, doesn't guard resources, and loves smaller dogs too. He is very gentle with them. Bodi is not neutered so no females in heat. My mother lives with me and she has a household cat. So, while it's ok for dogs to chase a cat, the cat is dog savvy, I cannot watch any dogs that would wish to do actual harm to the cat. I am especially doing this right now so my dog remains accustomed to new dogs entering his home and welcoming them. I'm home all the time so my schedule is open. My mother also lives with me and she is here all the time as well. I have a small fenced yard. I usually take my dog to the dog park or for a walk, or he has a playdate with the neighbor dog. So, while watching your dog, I would take him/her to the dog Park if that's ok with you, or take them for a walk. I do have a hip issue so I can't promise a lengthy walk every single day no matter what, simply because I do have hip issues. However, i would be able to throw a stick around, etc, to ensure your dog gets enough exercise. My dog Bodi is allowed on the furniture and in my bed and your dog would also be welcome to do so. I do give my dog people food treats. If you do not allow people food, please just let me know and I'll respect your wishes. The last thing I want to say is that my dog is my first priority, being that I'm only willing to watch dogs that get along well with my dog. So, I cannot promise any bookings without meeting you and your dog beforehand. I want dog sitting to be a positive experience for him and I do not want Bodi to be uncomfortable in his own home. 8/23/2019 UPDATE: My dog, Stella, passed away in March from osteosarcoma; but, I can't bring myself to remove her info from my profile yet. So, I'm adding this info as an update. Although I don't think I'm ready to get a new dog myself yet--because I still feel as though getting another dog would be trying to replace the irreplaceable-- I feel ok when around other people's dogs & feel as though I am ready to watch dogs again. In fact, being around dogs more, again, may be exactly what I need first, before getting another dog. All of that being said- despite my profile information & posted pictures, I do not have any dogs in my home so I would be able to watch dogs who may not be good with other dogs. I can watch more than 1 dog at a time, provided they are from the same household; but, I generally don't accept dogs from more than one household at a time. I set that rule/limit because I also had my own dog, so I may be willing to watch two dogs from different households...but, I wouldn't watch another dog from another household unless I had permission from both owners (first & foremost). Furthermore, I still would probably only do so only if I was already familiar with both dogs and/or felt very, very confident that neither dog's presence would negatively effect the other dog's experience. As a final note to owners of multiple dogs: Apparently, my thinking and experience(s) are contrary to Rover and or other Rover sitters in regards to watching two dogs from the same household. In my experience, whenever I have watched more than one dog from the same household, they have been easier to care for, and seem more calm and content. Therefore, instead of charging more for the second dog, my charge is $20 for the second dog. Additionally- I'm not sure what exactly my rate is for extended stays, based on my experience(s), extended-stays become easier and less time-intensive the longer the dog stays. As an example, I never expect to sleep much on the first night a dog stays over, simply because even when they're calm, they tend to wake up more often & obviously feel the need to go outside upon wakening. (However, being able to sleep through the night is an added bonus). So, I am willing to adjust my fees for well-behaved dogs staying longer than 3-4 nights. If and whenever that is the case, feel free to ask me about it, if I don't bring it up myself, during the meet n greet, asked prior to booking anything through the site. ___________________________________________________ Hi! I'm a dog person. As a kid, I grew up in a household with many dogs always coming and going so I am very comfortable with dogs. That being said, large and giant breed dogs hold a special place in my heart, and are my favorite. I am a college-educated professional and very trustworthy, and would be happy to meet in advance of taking care of your dog, in order to ease any concerns you may have about leaving a dog with a stranger. And, I could tell you more about myself over the phone, or in person. I also recognize I am new to Rover, and don't or probably won't have have any reviews or customers for a while, so if there's something I can say or do to ease any concerns you may have, feel free to let me know. I have one pet in my home, an 8-year-old female Bullmastiff named Stella, who is very, very laid back. Although I've known Stella her entire life, she came to live with me during the summer of 2017. She always lived with both male and female dogs of all sizes, and in a household with children, and has never displayed any behavioral issues or aggressive behavior. I think Stella gets a little lonely sometimes so she welcomes canine company. Every once in a while & depending on the personalities involved, the most 'aggression' Stella has ever displayed is a warning growl/light snap if she's eating a bully stick (her favorite), or when lying down in her spot on the sofa. It's an appropriate-level response & not aggressive. Actually, I think the only time she's ever even reacted like that, in any way, has been with dogs of her size or larger/taller than her. Even though I love the large dogs- I think Stella prefers dogs smaller than her. She seems to especially love dogs who nag her to play by running & jumping on and around her. Basically, I think she typically requires that the other dog motivate her to play ? (I think she also likes that she can play with the little dogs without having to do much of the running herself!) All in all, I think there's just a certain instant chemistry between certain dogs that make them immediate friends & good playmates. And, the reason I signed up on Rover is for Stella to have an occasional in-home playmate; however, Stella needs to feel comfortable in her own home, which is my first and foremost priority. Regarding house rules and what your pet may be accustomed to, I will adhere to any rules you set for your dog. Stella is allowed on the bed, and has a designated spot on the sofa. Your dog would be welcome on my furniture, if your dog is accustomed to that. However, I also have two ultra-comfortable dog beds (dimensions of each, 36"x 52"). I have exchanged dog-sitting favors with friends and neighbors and watched other dogs in my home for many years, but do not have any prior "professional" dog-sitting experience. MY HOME'S LAYOUT/SENIOR DOGS For anyone with senior dogs, my home is less than ideal, but can also be manageable for senior dogs. My home has a small fenced rear yard, but is a two-story home with the bedrooms located upstairs. There are also approximately 6-8 steps leading to the fenced yard. If your dog has a problem with the steps leading to the yard, I would be willing & able to walk the dog around the house to/from the yard without encountering the steps. I have hardwood flooring throughout my entire home (as well as ceramic and/or porcelain tile in the bathrooms). The stairs are hardwood floor treads with carpeted treads secured on top of the step. Although my stairs are certainly not the steepest stairs I've ever seen in an old home, they're still a bit more narrow and or steep than would be found in a newer home. Overall, my home may not be the best option for some senior dogs, but steps can be avoided as long as the dog is not accustomed to sleeping in the bedroom at night. That being said- I actually slept downstairs on my living room sofa (which has since been replaced) for 4-5 years when my previous dog was no longer able to climb the stairs. So, I'd probably sleep downstairs if I was watching a dog who couldn't climb the steps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P. S. There is a question or checkmark on my Rover profile for me to answer as to whether anyone smokes in the home. The question is a little but unclear, and I marked mine as no smoking in the home. So, I would like to clarify that I am a smoker, but I don't smoke in my home. I'm currently home all the time so I have lots of time to give love and attention. My mother also lives with me so there's two people to get attention from. I have a small fenced in yard, but frequently take my dog for a walk or the dog park, or at least somewhere to get them out of the house on a rainy day (i.e. Bass Pro Shops)
About: I have taken care of my own pets and others for over 25 years. Our current house includes 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have a lab, golden and corgi. I also welcome foster animals into our home when i can. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have flexibility to visit multiple times a day or host in my own home. My dogs are very friendly with others and welcome new friends and people. I do have an electric fence but am happy to keep dogs on the leash to go outside. I am happy to crate if needed for your dog. I keep extra crates in my home to use.
“Casey was absolutely amazing! We were in a last-minute pinch while attending Hersheypark and reached out less than an hour before we needed care for our two dogs. Not only did she respond quickly, but she was able to accommodate us on very short notice. She was incredibly friendly, caring, and loving with our dogs, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We are so grateful for her help and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Casey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

Animals are welcome to sleep on furniture in my home and cuddle like I would my own animal. My home is their home while they’re with us. We have a 14 month old son, so your pet needs to be comfortable around children. He is good about not touching, but he is a typical toddler and makes noise throughout the day.

About: Taking care of dogs and cats has been my specialty since I was a child! I have had 8 dogs of all kinds, as well as 10 cats, not including my grandmother’s. My family and neighbors would trust me to feed and water their pets while they were away. I am great at crating puppies and socializing feral/young kittens. It’s always a pleasure to brush or bathe pets depending on their size! I am working a part-time job at Petsmart so my day is already filled with furry faces! But I will still have plenty of days where I can come take care of your puppy or kitty! My schedules are usually two weeks out so I have plenty of notice of when I am free. Contact me of a day when you’d like me to care for your pet and I will let you know the earliest I am available that day! Unfortunately I am not in a position to invite pets into my home… I am figuring out my living situation and will update this section when I have a suitable place for pets to visit!
“Sadie was awesome, she is a great communicator and super flexible with scheduling - it was a last minute booking and she was able to squeeze us in! Thank you for taking care of Tonka and Weezie!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I started taking care of dogs a little bit before I turned 10. I've taken care of my family's and friends' pets for many years. I've been relied on for feedings, walks, baths, and medications. I love dogs with all my heart. I always want to make sure that they feel loved and cared for. I am able to care for your pups Monday and Wednesday after 1pm and Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday after 8am! I'm also available weekends after 10am. I live in an apartment, so I make sure that my dog has plenty of opportunities to go outside for a walk. My dog has a schedule that we stick to that also works for her. I would make sure that I follow your dog's schedule and specific instructions. With me, your dog will get all the cuddles, love, and playtime they could ask for!
About: I have taken care of so many different types of animals, ranging in all ages. I have no boundaries with pets :)) I love them all so much and will love your baby like they’re my own. I work almost every weekday starting from between 3:30-5:30pm until as late as 8-10pm My availability is open otherwise and I can work around your schedule. I keep my eyes on the pet/s at all times when outdoors, and monitor as necessary in the house. I might as well be a helicopter (pet) mom.
About: I have been an animal lover since I was young child. I even save bugs stuck inside! I have lifelong experience providing care to all sorts of pets including rodents, dogs and cats, both inside and outside. I have very strong beliefs about taking care of animals. I feel we are blessed to have animals in our lives and should treat them with love and dignity. I highly value kindness and compassion towards humans and animals alike. I am a very patient and loving person. I enjoy spreading that love and patience to all animals. I have owned 2 dogs, both of which with severe anxiety and leash reactivity. I met with a dog trainer and learned specific ways to help dogs dealing with those. I love to be outside and walk, especially with a dog. Exercise is so important to animals. I would adore getting to know your pets! I will give them all the snuggles they deserve! During the summer, I am available almost all of the time, even on the weekends. I am a teacher so, once school starts back in the fall, I will still be an active pet-care giver, but unfortunately my schedule will change. I am not able, at this time, to care for pets at my own home. I am MORE than happy to come to your home, walk your dog, and feed and give water to your pets.
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog received while we were away on vacation. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt loved, comfortable, and well-exercised every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. From daily walks and playtime to thoughtful updates and photos, everything was handled with professionalism and genuine love for animals. Our dog absolutely adored her and it showed!

“Ella was reliable and on time. She communicated in a timely manner and she did wonderful on the walk with my pups. The one has anxiety so he only walks so far down the street. So she walked them a few times and even gave me feedback on if they did #1 or 2. I will hire her again in the future.”

About: I will probably remember your dogs name before I remember yours. I love animals and I have 2 German Shepherd Labradoodles who are high energy and extra clingy. I know how to take care of dogs and understand their needs for exercise. Currently I am an educator for High School students looking for summer work. I want to be able to be flexible to still spend time with my puppers and take care of yours. My dogs are crate trained and can be left without destroying things. They are exercised daily as well as keeping them up on their medications and probiptics. My one dog has issues with his hips so we get that checked frequently with the Veterinarians.
