Highly-rated overnight sitters - Jim Thorpe
“Thank you so much for caring for Hershey. We enjoyed seeing the photos and videos. I forgot her bowls and they had some available 🙌🏼 I appreciate it. Thank you !”
“Kathleen is reliable, highly observant, and genuinely passionate about animals. This was observable through her friendly and warm demeanor, and compassionate verbal and physical interactions with Haru and his responsiveness to her. Her photo update was sincerely appreciated and gave a secure sense of transparency. The environment was clean, organized and provided ample free space for indoor and outdoor movement.”
“Megan provided excellent and compassionate care for my American Bully, Kash while I was visiting the area from out of town. She communicated promptly and effectively and sent photos and updates throughout the weekend. I was so nervous having my pup boarded out of town for the first time, but felt that he was genuinely loved and cared for while there. After playing with Meagan's two dogs on her beautiful country property for a weekend, Kash returned to me safe, happy, and utterly exhausted!”
“Melinda was great with my 2yr old mini poodle Peaches! She was caring and attentive and my son and Peaches loved her sweet dogs River and Winter too! Highly recommend her sitting services and will book Peaches a stay again with her, she loved it!”
“At this point David has become family. I am truly grateful to have found such a kindhearted and genuine person to look after my baby. I had an urgent need for his services and he responded right away. His kind words were much needed during my trip, and as always he kept me updated on Phoenix. I knew from our first contact that David had an amazing spirit. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and support during my time of travels.”
“Our dog Charlie was in great hands. She went above and beyond to make Charlie comfortable and feel loved while he missed us. Sent many pics and updates along his stay! We will def recommend and use again”
“Gwen took very good care for my little guy (Noel) as he had surgery days prior to his stay. Gwen made sure he took his medicine on time and sent me photos throughout his stay. He’ll look forward staying again next time we’re around. Thank you :)”
“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Sharon and her family. When we first met with Sharon all of out worries immediately disappeared. She is very kind and responsible. Our Cindy felt at home right away. We never had a reason to worry throughout our vacation as Sharon was always in touch. We received daily photographs and reports on how our pet was feeling. All our recommendations were followed. We were very happy with Sharon. Cindy even came home with gifts 😊 Thank you for taking care of our pet while we were away!!! We will definitely contact you again!”
“Brooke, Jeremy and Family were absolutely wonderful! Five stars, 10/10 ! Thank you for the care and attention you gave our Pomeranian babies! The daily photos made us so happy!”
“Wonderful! Perla and her family took such good care of Cole. Spoiled him with frosty paws and special meals when he didn’t want to eat and LOTS of love! Sent tons of pics and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Parcha came home pooped from all the fun she had at Dawn’s. Jasper, Dawn’s 5 month old dog and Parcha played day and night. Dawn’s boys did not want Parcha to leave. It’s a no brainer when I need someone to care for Parcha.”
“Lorraine was great with updates on my three dogs. She sent pictures and enjoyed having them while I was away. My dogs seemed happy and well when I picked them up. I would recommend Lorraine and book her again in the future.”
“Emanuel was incredible with our 2 dogs. We booked him very last minute when our other sitter bailed the night before a 3 week work trip for us. Our girls attached to him immediately and it made us feel so much better! He took a ton of pics and videos and sent them to us multiple times a day. Gave feeding updates and genuinely cared for our dogs.”
“Tiffany was great! She had a huge backyard my doggo could run all around in. She sent lots of pictures of my dog and they clearly showed my dog enjoying herself. She was very communicative and quick to respond. Would highly recommend her and hope to book with her in the future!”
“This was my first time taking my frenchies to a dog sitter - I was so nervous! Heaven was absolutely amazing. She greeted us warmly, stayed in touch for the 2 days she had them, and made sure all of their needs were met. The dogs slept for an entire day after they came home, they were so played out. I will absolutely book again in the future!”
“Elaine was great with my fur baby. She has great communication and we felt very safe leaving him overnight. We will definitely use her again after we return from FL in the spring.”

“Emily is the best! We can always count on her to take care of Wrigley. Whether we are gone for a day or a couple weeks, we feel relieved knowing he’s getting love and care at home. She takes great care of his basic needs and goes the extra mile to make sure he’s entertained, loved, and comfortable as well.”
“We had a fantastic experience and couldn’t recommend Kailey more! We booked her for a long-term stay over the holidays to care for our two cats, and she was amazing. She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We will always recommend Kailey!”
“Avery was wonderful! Very kind and attentive. She made the process of being out of town so much less stressful as a pet owner. My dog clearly loved her and I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs pet care!”

“Jule was a God-send for me while I was on vacation! She made sure their food and water was filled, scooped the litter boxes, swept up around the litter boxes, and stayed and played with the kitties for awhile. She took lots of pictures to send to me while I was away. My white cat, Tigger, hides whenever anyone comes over (he only stays out for me) and she had pictures of him laying on the couch!!! He was relaxed and didn’t feel scared. It’s so nice knowing I have someone I can depend on because in the past I have struggled to find someone that I could 100% depend on. Thanks Jule. The kitties thank you too!”
“Thank you Christine for sitting my kitties and all the pictures you sent with your updates. Christine was quick to respond back when I sent the request. She came over for a meet and greet before I left. Christine was very welcoming very friendly.”

About: Back home I took care of many animals in my town. I raised a Husky, a Boxer-Lab, a Leopard Gecko and a Bearded Dragon as well. I have taken care of plenty of dogs, cats, puppies and even some farm animals for friends. Groomed, Served ice cream to dogs and cats at an animal ice cream parlor, walked dogs, dog-sat, and raised some amazing animals which tuned me into true animal care. I am currently raising an Australian Shepherd, Ziggy! He is full of life and super eager-to-learn, high maintenance too which is right up my alley. He is leash trained and off-leash, potty trained and loves to go to dog parks and run around till he can’t no more! Daily we walk Ziggy around town, give him plenty of potty breaks and playtime! He loves tossing around teddy bears and licking play-mats in his free time. I wake up and feed Ziggy, then take him outside, and feed him for dinner as well. We train him every day with certain commands and tricks. With all of my animals, I make sure to get them outside enough and play with them as much as I can. At home I always make sure my animals get fed twice a day and have water at all times and I always have water when going out on long walks, drives, and to the park. I am super on-top-of making sure they get enough potty breaks and teach them how to react a certain way when I ask if they want “Outside?Potty?” to house train.
About: I used to hate cats when I was a kid until I got my first cat, Sombra. She was found on the side of the road as a kitten by a friend and asked if my mother and I could take her in. I was hesitant at first, but decided to give her a chance. 9 years later, and I love her to death, despite her feisty attitude. Most recently,2 years ago, I found 2 more black kittens in an abandoned building, a brother and sister. We took them in with the intention of fostering them until they were old enough to adopt out, but unfortunately, since black cats aren't popular, no one wanted them. I decided to keep them for myself, and now Milan and Marcille are happily living together, with Sombra. (all of my cats are indoor cats)

“I'm so incredibly glad I found Deanna. My cat has a long and complicated medical history, including multiple pills and therapies (even an inhaler). On top of that, I'd never had to leave her home alone before. Needless to say I was WORRIED. But Deanna knows her stuff!!! She took excellent care of my baby and now I never need to be worried about overnight travel again. I will without a doubt rebook house visits with Deanna again (and again and again).”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Jim Thorpe
“Julie is great. Extra accommodating in caring for our dogs. The property is like a doggy amusement park, especially for our two beagles. They enjoyed the stay with Julie and her family, and we have booked again for a two day stay.”
“Dawn has been great! She was a great find for my Tahoe... I appreciate how she engages with my little girl, as well as sends numerous photos throughout the day. I have used more than a few "Rover Mom's" across the country...I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Dawn. Thank you...”
“Very nice family. They provided the highest level of attention to my pet. They were versatile and adapted their schedule to accommodate our Stella. Stella loved going to stay with them.”
“Our two dogs seemed to be at ease with Megan during a four hour "day care" at her residence. They came home happy, tired and healthy. I think that's a good sign. I met her two dogs and found them to be gentle and well-behaved. Although our dogs were with her for only a four hour stay that day, she still somehow managed to get nice, little walk in for them! At this point, I feel comfortable with Megan and her ability to care for our doggies and would use her service again. She's very professional, cordial and accommodating. She provided quick responses every time I had questions. Thanks!”
“Mike was fantastic. He watched our boy while we took a rafting trip nearby. He made me immediately feel at ease knowing he’d take great care of our pup. He’s also in a great neighborhood that I’m sure dogs love to walk. Highly recommend.”
“I was in town visiting relatives and needed last minute day care for my energetic lab while we went on a day trip to the city. Christy was very accommodating. I appreciated her flexibility, communication, and pictures. Buttercup looked like she has a great time with the family!”
About: My husband and I and our two teenage children love pets. We have been hosting pets in our home for a number of years and enjoy the experience each one brings to us. We have pets of our own and foster for a rescue. To us, every dog has a unique and special personality that we enjoy. Sharing our home and love with your furry family member so you can feel comfortable while you are away is the experience we want to provide for both of you. We have a fenced in doggie area and 2 acres of property for your dog to enjoy as well as walks, hugs and pet friendly furniture. We host both puppies and elderly pets and are accustomed to their needs. We encourage meet and greets as well to allow you and your dog to become familiar with us beforehand and to answer all questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you soon.
“My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the care Joann and Angelina provided for Minnie! From the moment we met, I knew my Minnie would be in good hands. She sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel so reassured. My Minnie came back home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. Joann’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really showed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thank you for treating Minnie like family! She misses Remi already !!!!”
“This was Nola's first visit with Jennifer. Certainly won't be her last. Multiple walks and snackies. She came home tired but happy. Thanks for taking such good care of our girl”
“I was very nervous leaving my new puppy for an entire day, but had no other choice. I found Lorraine on Rover.com. She was so very sweet to Bella, and I felt confident that Bella would have a great time spending the day with her and her husband. I know she treated Bella as if she was her own and loved her the way I do. I will definitely use Lorraine again and have no reservations in recommending her to others.”

“We are so grateful to Michael and Perla for providing such wonderful care during our pup’s first two days of doggy daycare. As a first-time dog owner without family nearby, I was feeling quite anxious, but Michael reassured me every step of the way and kept me updated. His care and communication gave me such peace of mind. I’ve already noticed positive changes—our pup now plays more confidently and independently in the garden. We’re truly looking forward to many more daycare and boarding stays in the months ahead. There’s simply no better family to trust with your dog’s care!”
“Renata has been great so far in watching our 9 week old puppy while I work during the day! He comes home sleepy sometimes so we know he's getting enough playtime! We will definitely continue to use her when needed.”
“Melissa and Angel are great! They took great care of my dog Whiskey, providing walks, playtime, and plenty of pictures throughout. I will definitely use them again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!!”

“Getting better, my dogs, not the sitter. Our dogs are not used to being away from us or from home. We are prepping them for a weekend away. They did better today. They like Jahada and go with her easily, it's my mama dog who is still a little anxious. She will just pant though. Not exhibiting any other bad behaviors. She will use the bathroom while with Jahada, both poop and pee, which is fantastic because if she were to feel completely uneasy, she wouldn't do either. We're about to attempt an overnight stay! Thanks Jahada.”
“Everything seemed to go well, puppy was exhausted by the time we got home. Jeanne kept me up to date and sent pictures which was helpful and made me feel better since it was the first time Bailey was going to daycare.”

My partner Luca is also part of our Rover profile and shares this same passion for animal care. We have multiple pets together and work as a team to provide attentive, reliable care. Luca previously worked at the same clinic I’m at as a receptionist and veterinary assistant, and now works in a science lab where he also helps care for lab animals. His experience makes him calm, capable, and very comfortable handling a wide range of animals. What sets us apart is that we combine professional veterinary experience with genuine, everyday love for animals. Between the two of us, your pets will always have attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. We currently have cats, ferrets, mice and 1 bearded dragon of our own, and we hold ourselves to the same high standard of care that we would want for them. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because animals have always been a huge part of our lives. I work full-time, but I schedule my Rover services around my work hours so that every visit gets my full attention. I’m typically available before or after work for drop-ins, walks, and evening check-ins, and I always communicate clearly about my availability. My partner Luca helps provide additional flexibility. He is a full-time student and works part-time in a lab, with a schedule that tends to stay consistent for longer periods. Because our schedules often complement each other, one of us is usually available when the other is not. This allows us to offer more consistent and reliable care throughout the day. Even with busy schedules, caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy and make time for, and we never take on more than we can fully commit to. We primarily care for pets in our clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my first priority. We follow your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and playtime, while also keeping an eye out for any early signs of stress or illness. We’re respectful of your home, trustworthy with your space, and committed to creating a calm, clean environment for your pets while you’re away. We provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Shelby is great! I'm thankful we were able to connect. Things have been very hectic in our world and having someone we can trust walk our very bouncy 80lb puppy has been unbelievably helpful! Shelby asked some good questions about our pup before starting out and I trust her to take good care of Agnes while on their walks. Agnes comes back happy and sleepy everytime - it's a win for everyone!”
About: I currently have 3 rescue kitties and 2 bunnies. One 4yo gray, female, tabby who I learned how to bottle feed when she was rescued at 2 weeks. I have 2 long haired gray sisters I rescued who are almost 2 yo. And I have 2 female bunnies I care for every day. I have always had a dog in my life up until 5 years ago when he sadly passed at 11 yo. One day I will adopt a dog again but until then I will gladly help take care of and spoil your fur babies. I work from home Monday - Friday and have most availability evenings, weekends and some mornings. I can be flexible with your schedule and mine. I have a fenced in front deck however I always believe in leashing before the door is open and will abide by the owners instructions
About: I have many years of sitting dogs and cats! I am there to follow their regular feeding and walking schedule. I love to pet dogs, rub their bellies and make them feel safe while their loved ones are away! I’m happy to tell them their commands for treats if they know them. This is my full time job! I love taking care of pets and making them feel safe! I do what their owner has written out for me. If they have a fenced yard, or partial, I’ll make sure they are safe and cared for with lots of love! Whatever makes them feel safe, I would be happy to contribute to that.

“Kathleen is reliable, highly observant, and genuinely passionate about animals. This was observable through her friendly and warm demeanor, and compassionate verbal and physical interactions with Haru and his responsiveness to her. Her photo update was sincerely appreciated and gave a secure sense of transparency. The environment was clean, organized and provided ample free space for indoor and outdoor movement.”
“Megan provided excellent and compassionate care for my American Bully, Kash while I was visiting the area from out of town. She communicated promptly and effectively and sent photos and updates throughout the weekend. I was so nervous having my pup boarded out of town for the first time, but felt that he was genuinely loved and cared for while there. After playing with Meagan's two dogs on her beautiful country property for a weekend, Kash returned to me safe, happy, and utterly exhausted!”
“At this point David has become family. I am truly grateful to have found such a kindhearted and genuine person to look after my baby. I had an urgent need for his services and he responded right away. His kind words were much needed during my trip, and as always he kept me updated on Phoenix. I knew from our first contact that David had an amazing spirit. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and support during my time of travels.”

Gave feeding updates and genuinely cared for our dogs.”

I will absolutely book again in the future!”

“We were a nervous wreck leaving our 12 year old Baby with a stranger for the first time and for 10 days! Laura invited us to a meet and greet at her home before we left and she is the type of person that when you meet her and have a conversation, you feel like you’ve been friends for years! She took very good care of Baby and sent us texts with pics the whole time we were gone! I highly recommend her and I was thrilled when she said she would watch her again!”
