“Nancy was absolutely amazing with my dog! She sent lots of pictures which I greatly appreciated. I could tell he was having a great time and was well loved and cared for. Nancy and Butch are lovely people and I highly recommend their services!!”
“Jordan provided a safe, calm, and secure place for our pup. She kept us informed with text and pictures and it was great seeing our pup so relaxed and happy while we were away. 💙”
“Amy did a fabulous job with caring for my 2 dogs! She sent photos and updates which were very much appreciated! She’s knowledgeable about dogs so I felt super comfortable with her watching my dogs. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to all who need her services!”
“Heather was amazing with Mika over the long weekend! She was super accommodating, very responsive, and kept us updated with daily pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mika was in such great hands. We really appreciated how caring and attentive she was. We would absolutely book with Heather again and highly recommend her!”
“Amanda took very good care of my Kirby dog. She provided me with updates and photos of my dog enjoying her dogs. She's is a gentle spirit with animals. I would recommend her and will certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Amanda!”
“Jamie was wonderful with The Diva! Jaime sent photos every day while we were away and updated us on how Hadassah was adjusting. I would highly recommend her to care for your sweet ones. Bobbi Jo”
“Mar is great to Molly. Even when a family emergency came up and I had to extend the visit unexpectedly, Mar was super helpful and accommodating. Molly gets excited when we pull up to the house, so I know she is in good hands and has a great time when she's there.”
“Carol was the absolute best sitter we have known and used. Our dog was certainly a challenge at 17+ years old but she handled him with love and care throughout his stay. His poor eyesight and hearing, weak legs, anxiety, and the medications required for them were handled professionally.”
“Brittany is so nice and caring! She kept my fur baby Addie for the night while we were out of town. Brittany gave me updates and sent me pictures so I knew how Addie was doing. Addie lost her rabies tag in Brittany's yard but Brittany found it and sent it to us! Brittany and her family took good care of Addie :)”
“I highly recommend Renae for anyone needing a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! It was my first time leaving my Addie for a whole week but I felt at ease knowing Renae was taking care of her. Renae treated Addie like her own, including letting her play with her own dogs in her spacious yard. Renae showed how much she cared by making special food for Addie when she wasn’t eating well at first. The daily updates about how Addie was doing, always with a picture of short video made me feel confident that Addie was happy, healthy, and safe. Renae is so sweet and caring, and you can tell she really loves dogs. Knowing Addie was in such good hands made it much easier to leave and relax on vacation. I couldn't possibly say enough good things about Renae!”
“Kim took really great care of Zorro. We left him for a really long period of time due to international travel and Kim made sure the time away from Zorro was not stressful. She sent us updates regularly with many pictures. We could see in the pictures that Zorro was a happy pup when he was boarding with Kim.”
“We left our mini schnauzer in the BEST care for our 2 week trip away. Andrew, Karen, and Finn were the best hosts to our boy. We received many daily updates of photos/videos of Moose having the best time playing with Finn. They were always so quick to respond to any messages we sent. When we picked up Moose, he was clean and brushed. I’m one of those crazy dog moms and am 10000% happy with how Moose was taken care of! Thank you so much Andrew and Karen!”
About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.
“My dog loves staying with Beatriz and Hayden, he gets so excited each time he sees them which shows how great of a connection they’ve made with him, they’re so nice and friendly and take great care of my baby, we appreciate the updates and them giving my dog healthy treats and keeping him active since he struggles with his weight, it’s great knowing that my pet is going to be in a great loving home when we’re away. Will definitely recommend and use again!”
“Beatriz and her family are wonderful people who truly care about your pets. I was nervous about leaving my two yorkies who have some health issues and require twice daily medications. She took them on without a second thought. She sent me pictures and updates to help me feel at ease. When I came to get them, my dogs were relaxed/very comfortable there. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“Excellent experience! Boarded a 5 year old Siberian Husky for 9 days and the service was flawless. Lindsay has the family atmosphere and accommodations to support any and all breeds! We will definitely use Lindsay in the future. A kennel is a prison(23 to 1 lockdown); give your baby to Lindsay!”
“Becca was a joy to work with, and took excellent care of my sweet boy Gunner. He had an awesome time with her pets and kids. I think he barely realized we were gone for a week! Thanks Becca ?”

About: I truly enjoy getting to know each individual dog's personality and tailoring my response to match. My family always had a dog growing up. Though I am not a "dog trainer" my dogs have always been taught basic commands and learned to reliably respond, for their safety. Lots of treats. I am retired, so I (and my husband) are normally home except for brief errands. My dog and I take about a mile walk twice a day through the woods. Your dog would get frequent leash walks, and whatever playtime they wanted. And of course lots of hugs. :) We have a large back yard bordering on a wooded area for frequently leash walking your dog. Additionally we have a small (20' x 14') fenced area for some off leash play time. Our dog enjoys other dogs and our cat thinks he is a dog. Our pets are allowed on furniture, but of course we would reinforce your rules if they differ. We will play games in the house and lots of attention will be given.
About: I have been the neighborhood dog walker since I was a kid and have cared for both dogs and cats often. I have worked with a senior dog often and am used to the meticulous routines of medication and assisting their needs. I typically work 5 hour shifts in the afternoons or late evenings with flexibility in my schedule to accommodate specific needs if necessary. Days and time vary each week. I am good with instructions and always seek to leave things better than I found it. I want whatever dog I watch to feel as comfortable and safe as it can when I care for it.
“Joudi was truly a last minute godsend. Right before my wedding we got a horrifying diagnosis of CHF for our one cat. (we have four) With this new diagnosis and treatment regimen we desperately needed someone with the experience, skills and overall caring attitude that is Joudi. She was seriously amazing and allowed us the much needed peace of mind over our wedding weekend. I literally can't recommend her enough, our kitties miss her already! I could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover!”
“Paige did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. Our puppy wasn’t feeling great the night before but Paige kept me posted on how she was doing throughout the day. Dogs were happy when we came home and house was as we left it. Would definitely use Paige again.”
About: I used to work at an animal rescue so I’ve dealt with all kinds of dogs! What I learned from working there is that every animal is special and deserves all the love in the world. I work part-time at an elementary school. I typically work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so my schedule any other day is wide open. I just need the client to put in the request a couple days in advance! I am a college student so I live in an apartment with three other girls. The apartment is pet friendly and we have dogs over all the time! There is no fenced in yard, but there is a beautiful, spacious yard behind the complex. As for a client’s home, I will care for the pet per the clients request!
About: I have tons of experience with both cats and dogs. I have two pets of my own that i trained and take care of, a golden retriever and a cat! I am home for the summer hoping to save for college. I can promise I will be a great person to rely on to take care of your pets! I work an evening shift at my part time job throughout the week, but it is very flexible. I am open throughout the week and can work per care into my schedule very easily. I have a very friendly dog in my home and a cat that is inside and outside. When it comes to caring for your pet in my home, I will treat them as my own! My dog gets almost daily walks and is on a very consistent feeding schedule, as yours will be as well.
About: I have always lived with cats in the house. I work with cats at PetSmart cleaning the cages, giving food and water, and socializing the cats. I have a flexible schedule. I am on weekdays and weekends in the morning, afternoon, and night. I am happy to see your pet at anytime. I respect cats if they do not want to interact with me. I will back away from the cats if they seem angry or scared.
“Hope is truly the best sitter we have ever had! She's so sweet and kind, our animals love her especially our pup who is older and doesn't always do well with new people in the house!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals before. I love and adore animals. Thanks for your time. I’m currently working part-time at a hotel. I would like to be doing pet sitting a few days of the week. I can’t wait :) For my pets at home i have a fenced in section of my home. My home is average sized so good amount of room. We have lots of toys for our doggos
About: I grew up in East Texas with 3 Bengal tigers in my front yard and a minuture potbelly pig named Bubba in our home. I currently have a Exotic Micro Bully named Gucci who loves all other animals. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is Gucci and we would love to have your animal and promise to keep them safe. They will be walked and entertained. If your pet doesn't like other pets then we might not be the best fit. Gucci can handle just about anything but he is so socialized that I don't think he would defend himself even if he needed too. Please only other animals that are completely okay with other pets. We go to the Westmoreland County Dog Obodeience School once a week and will pass on all knowledge we learn to those that will let us teach them. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is non stop pet care. You will have no worries of your pet being left unattended. Gucci is never left alone and neither will your pet. Lots of walks and love! If you would like your pet crated for whatever reason please provide it. We are a crate free home. I live in an apartment but it's a big one and we take lots of walks.
“Bob and all who I spoke with were awesome! Bob was so accommodating when the day I was supposed to drop my kitten off I had work thrown on me that had to be done quickly. I was late getting Moscato there and kept having to push back the drop-off time, but he was so nice about it. My kitten had a great time there. They played with her and let her have the run of a kitten room with lots of towers and things to play with and on. They also sent me pictures of her which was really comforting because it was my first time being away from her. They provide a daily update on her activities and how she is eating, etc. It definitely helped ease my mind that she was in great hands. Fantastic stay and I will definitely use Bob again in the future for my little one! ”

“Andrew was a pleasure to work with. He was so good at keeping in touch and communicating with us. He took the job very seriously so we felt our pet was in good hands. During the meet and greet he covered items we had not considered. He was patient with our very shy cat and we felt he treated our animal as if it was his own. I would not hesitate to hire Andrew again!!”

“Deanna was great! She was able to take Mishka within 2 days notice and met with us first to make sure Mishka felt comfortable in her home! If we visit PA again with family we will use her and I will let any friends in my hometown know how great she was!”
“Marcy is beyond wonderful! She’s so caring and I can tell Porter has a good time while he stays with her and her dog Charlie. He comes home completely I can’t seem to keep him awake which is amazing because he’s just a 3 month old puppy and is typically a wild child in the afternoons! Marcy was so kind to take him on at a late request and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my little man. She made me feel so comfortable immediately! If I could give her more than five stars I would! She is so kind and I can guarantee she’d treat anyone’s pup like the special little fur ball they are :)”
About: Who can love your little ones as you do? I was licensed for child daycare in Colorado for over 10 years. We are animal lovers and guardians of two little dogs. Adults who love and understand the needs of little fur babies. We would love to get to know your special one too. Please make sure you add all of the info for the vet you use. All dogs will need to be current on vaccines and flea and tick care. Please keep in mind when you pay for one day it covers you for 24 hrs. So if you bring your baby at 6 a.m. you will be covered till 6 a.m. the following day. Any hours after that is $6.00 an hour. If you book for more than a weekend, I can be flexible (1 to 2 hrs) due to flight delays, etc. Thank you! I'm currently not working outside home so no matter what your little ones will have someone here at all times. I feed everyone seperately and we walk when weather permits. We have potty pads available for comfort in between outings. I allow access to my whole home and will enjoy a walk once a day or more weather permitting. We have a great time individually and daily with all our little ones.

For years I have been rescuing and re-homing animals of all sorts. Animals are a big passion of mine. I am very comfortable with injured, animals in need of rehabilitation, or animals in need of special medical attention of any kind. At the current moment I am available full time for your pet!!! For last 3 years I have worked as an EMT all over the country. As of right now I decided to go part time with EMS in order to have more freedom/ be able to work when I want to. I work as a part time EMT at the moment in order to set my own schedule. I want to expand my career and build clients with pet owners in hopes of fulfilling my dream of working with animals, rehabilitating, and caring for animals of all kinds.

“Beatriz was amazing! She sent me lots of photos throughout the day and was so quick to respond whenever I asked for an update or more photos. I’m a first-time puppy owner and she was extremely helpful with giving me tips and advice on how to train my pup. She was very accommodating regarding pickup and drop-off times and my pup had a great time with her. Would definitely book with her again! Very reliable and trustworthy.”
“Kim took care of our 3 pups while we were in town for a family reunion. It was good to know they had a safe place with a fence to play in while we were doing our thing. She was kind, brushed them and attentive.”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was 12 and have house sit/walked/let out my friends and families dogs for years. I love taking care of them like they are my own as I don’t have any pets living with me now. I don’t work all summer long. I travel most weekends but am available during the week all day. I am off of work until August 1 and then my schedule doesn’t allow for much flexibility. I live in an apartment complex that is very dog friendly. There is plenty of room for dogs to use the bathroom and go for walks on the leash. I allow pets on my furniture but if that’s not what you do in your household I will implement the same rules you use. No matter how friendly your dog is, I won’t allow other dogs to approach since I don’t know many of the dogs in my complex. I do not hit dogs as a reprimand at any time so please tell me what methods you’re comfortable with me using instead if needed. Honestly, if there’s anything specific you can feel free to ask for it or question me if you need!

“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little hesitant dropping off my baby boy…however Caitlin made me feel right at ease! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and I could tell Biscuit was having a great day! If I am ever needing a sitter in the Johnstown area again, I would definitely contact Caitlin again!!!”
About: Although this account is under my name, this is a team effort with my wife. We’re a young, energetic couple who have all the time and patience your pup deserves. A fully fenced yard out back provides a great place for playtime, and there’s always a spot on the couch to hang out with us. We have raised rates due to high demand going into the summer. If you’re a returning client, please reach out and if there are any issues with cost, we can work something out. I work a 9-to-5 schedule from home and I tend to spend a lot of my free time there as well. My wife is also home most of the day, so we have plenty of time throughout the week to give your dog the attention they need! My fully fenced yard, quiet house and neighborhood are perfect for dogs who are looking to relax on their vacation, but I have plenty of energy to walk and play with them too. Your dog will be hosted by our Bernedoodle, Finn, who loves making new friends.

At home I love on my pets a lot, feed them, and change their litter box.

She really went above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone for their pet care needs!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 when we first got our pug, Loki. He's 14 now. We also got a bulldog, Chubb's. I've walked, fed, and bathed them ever since. I've also taken care of some of my friends pets. For example, I took care of two Australian cattle dogs, fed them, walked them, played with them, bathed them. For a while I lived with 2 great Danes so I am familiar with big dogs. I'm currently working part time, I am a full time college student but I can work around that schedule! I'm not working many hours at my other job, so I should be more available during the week. I always make sure they're within eye-sight. I would never let them run amuck. I'm going to follow everything you say so safety is no issue.
About: My mom runs a rescue, so I have taken care of countless animals while fostering them. I also have 7 cats and 5 dogs which brings a lot of experience.

During the school year I will only be free during the weekends. I have large yard and path cut through my field for exercise. My dogs and cats are friendly to any other animal, but I am able to crate the pet if needed.

As I am currently on Christmas break until January, I have all the available time possible to take care of your pets! I’ve cared for client’s pets for drop-in visits, overnights, all-day visits, walks, administered medications, and so much more! I am willing to work with anyone on any service they may need!
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I don’t know what my life would be like without them. I am from a big dog kind of family and have been riding horses since I was four years old. I have experience working as a trainer and walker at the shelter near me. We took in fosters in need of urgent homes and even had one of them give birth to a litter of four, all of them were adopted out to friends in our town, even the mom! Friends and family have trusted me with their furry loved ones due to the love and care I provide them with while their families are away. My horseback trainer breeds her dogs yearly and I help care for the puppies and their mother during and after birth. I’ve dealt with many different dogs and can deal with a lot of sizes and energies. I work at a dog hotel in the area and have serviced with veterinarians nearby. Bathing, feeding, handling etc. are all things I am more than experienced dealing with and I love what I do more than anything. I am currently a junior in college and am very flexible with my time and am available most days and in between classes, if you have any questions/requests don’t hesitate to ask! I have off many breaks as well. I have a very large fenced yard and two big dogs to keep your fur baby(s) company. They are very friendly and love all dogs and people, they love to take a dip in the pool and run for hours in the yard. I can easily crate and meet any special needs/requests you or your dog may have. When visiting pets in their home I do not let them leave my sight and will always keep a close eye on them. Making sure your dog is happy, safe and comfortable is my number one priority.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments for over 12 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. My schedule is busiest Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, but I’m available the rest of the afternoon and evening for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. On Saturdays and Sundays, I have open availability and can provide flexible scheduling throughout the day. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs and keep communication clear and reliable. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh water, feeding, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I keep a clean, calm, and secure environment, closely supervise pets, and make safety my top priority at all times. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I have had dogs my whole entire life. I have taken them on walks, fed them, and gave them all the love they needed! Taking care of animals is such an important and special task that I take very seriously I am currently a full time student at Point Park University. Meaning, that most days I am out of the house around 3-6 hours, like a part time job. Other than that I am home most of the time! If your pet is high energy I can take them on long walks to the nearest park and play some games with them! If they prefer inside I can play games with them there! I am willing to do whatever makes your pet the happiest!
About: Through my animal science class, I am certified to not only care greatly for your dog but also for any farm animal you could think of. I’ve learned the ins and outs of what it takes to care for a dog! I am excited to care for your pet and give it as much love as you would! I believe in getting outside and having fun with our dogs! A healthy way to allow your dog to grow old with you is to let great walkers such as myself, to get outside with them! I am on summer break from college where I am double majoring in International relations and communications and am flexible throughout these coming weeks. I have open days and can fit in many walks a day. I care with safety as a number 1 priority for every animal and myself. I am firm and can tell a dog what it needs to hear. I am only willing to use my voice. I will never handle a dog or hit at any point during my visit.

“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”

“Heather was amazing with Mika over the long weekend! She was super accommodating, very responsive, and kept us updated with daily pictures.

“Brittany is so nice and caring! She kept my fur baby Addie for the night while we were out of town. Brittany gave me updates and sent me pictures so I knew how Addie was doing. Addie lost her rabies tag in Brittany's yard but Brittany found it and sent it to us! Brittany and her family took good care of Addie :)”
“I highly recommend Renae for anyone needing a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! It was my first time leaving my Addie for a whole week but I felt at ease knowing Renae was taking care of her. Renae treated Addie like her own, including letting her play with her own dogs in her spacious yard. Renae showed how much she cared by making special food for Addie when she wasn’t eating well at first. The daily updates about how Addie was doing, always with a picture of short video made me feel confident that Addie was happy, healthy, and safe. Renae is so sweet and caring, and you can tell she really loves dogs. Knowing Addie was in such good hands made it much easier to leave and relax on vacation. I couldn't possibly say enough good things about Renae!”
“Kim took really great care of Zorro. We left him for a really long period of time due to international travel and Kim made sure the time away from Zorro was not stressful. She sent us updates regularly with many pictures. We could see in the pictures that Zorro was a happy pup when he was boarding with Kim.”
“We left our mini schnauzer in the BEST care for our 2 week trip away. Andrew, Karen, and Finn were the best hosts to our boy. We received many daily updates of photos/videos of Moose having the best time playing with Finn. They were always so quick to respond to any messages we sent. When we picked up Moose, he was clean and brushed. I’m one of those crazy dog moms and am 10000% happy with how Moose was taken care of! Thank you so much Andrew and Karen!”
About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.
“Excellent experience! Boarded a 5 year old Siberian Husky for 9 days and the service was flawless. Lindsay has the family atmosphere and accommodations to support any and all breeds! We will definitely use Lindsay in the future. A kennel is a prison(23 to 1 lockdown); give your baby to Lindsay!”
“Becca was a joy to work with, and took excellent care of my sweet boy Gunner. He had an awesome time with her pets and kids. I think he barely realized we were gone for a week! Thanks Becca ?”
“Emily and her family were wonderful caring for my dog Sunny! Emily treated Sunny as part of her family and was in constant communication with me to send pictures and updates. I had absolutely no concerns about Sunny while we were on vacation because I knew that Emily was giving Sunny so much love. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her care for Sunny in the future!!”
“Kara was absolutely amazing with my dog Leia! She truly cares about the pets she takes care of. She sent texts on how Leia was doing with pictures. She kept Leia well fed with her food and regular milk bones. Kara overall just gave Leia the love and attention she craves while I was away. I definitely would love to have her watch Leia again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of animals on my own for over 4 years. I love all animals. I currently have 2 cats and one dog who I love very much. All my pets are really spoiled, in my home they come first they are my children. I would love to watch dogs and act as if they are my own. My dog is currently a puppy and he hyper and loves to play. He is extremely friendly. I can help with basic training like sit, paw, down, up. All my experience with animals has come from having many on my own. So I self taught myself. Animals deserve all the love possible. I currently do not work so I have all the time to give any dog attention and love. I can help with potty training and other simple things. And will keep your dog company and make sure they are not alone I have a yard it’s not fenced but I do have a puppy who would keep your dogs company and they will have a playmate because he’s super friendly and playful.
About: Ive taken care of dogs every size. teaching new tricks, going on walks, and ice cream is something I enjoy doing with a fur baby I currently work full time night shift. I work 12 hrs shifts so my other 4 days during the week are open to helping other animal lovers with their babies. Because without the help I receive on my work days I would b very stressed. I have an unfunded yard but I love going on walks. Me and my dog ( henny) are always going hiking, fishing, to the dog park, or just out for a car ride. Henny loves all dogs and has lots of energy to play.
“Our boys had a great time with Barb! Her experienced background helped ease my own apprehension about leaving them with anyone other than family. She understood all their quirks in no time! She sent photos and messages daily that helped us as well! Getting ready to book their next stay!”
