“Rillan was awesome! I felt totally confident in her watching my precious fur baby ! She sent pictures, checked in, and also monitored a medical issue that Farrah was having ! I would recommend her and will use her services again:).”
“Tess and Curt helped me out in a pinch when I had to go out of town last minute. They responded promptly and the details were all coordinated very quickly. They are very friendly and have a lovely outdoor space for the pups to run around in. I got lots of pictures throughout Wendy's stay which I really appreciated!”
“Jessica and her family were amazing sitters for our Labrador "Bella!" We couldn't have asked for a nicer or kinder family to entrust our fury family member. Bella loved her time with Jessica leaving my wife and I comforted to know she was in good care! Highly recommend Jessica for any pet sitting services. She took the time to periodically send videos and photos during Bella's stay. This further secured our trust that Bella was in good hands and allowed my wife and I to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use Jessica again!”
“Ryan took good care of Isabelle, and we were so thankful that he was able to accommodate us on a holiday. And Isabelle has a great time playing with Ryan’s dog, Charlie!”
“5-stars, no question! Thank you Katie for taking such good care of our boy, Cosmo, and making sure he had everything he needed. Katie was super friendly and knowledgeable. And provided lots of great updates on our young, energetic German Shepherd as he ran around her big backyard and got to play with other dogs all week. Perfect for him! And for us. It's clear he had a great time and was well cared for. Will 100% be using her services again.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Crystal while she looked after my 9-month-old Snowshoe cat, Mavis, during my spring break. Right from the meet and greet, she knew her stuff. She introduced Mavis to her apartment, and her pet is around the same age, Sushi, and gave us some great tips on helping Mavis settle in. The Blink camera in the room where Mavis stayed was a nice touch, allowing Crystal to check in on her whenever she was out, which was reassuring. Plus, she ensured Mavis got plenty of playtime – she understood Mavis's playful side. I was impressed by how Crystal helped Mavis and Sushi become friends. They hit it off after a little supervised playtime, which made me feel even better about leaving Mavis with her. What genuinely set Crystal apart was her communication. She kept in touch throughout my trip, sending updates and adorable pictures of Mavis. It was so reassuring to see Mavis happy and well taken care of while I was away. In short, Crystal is fantastic at what she does. She's caring, professional, and loves animals. I'll definitely be calling on her again next time I need a cat sitter.”
“Katrina was an absolute blessing while watching our senior dog, Fudge. We were away for our daughter's graduation and she made sure we could be fully present without a second of worry. She took Fudge on gentle walks tailored to his pace, and constantly sent the sweetest videos and photos that had us smiling the whole weekend. You can tell she truly loves senior dogs — she was patient, attentive, and treated Fudge like her own. Returning to a happy, relaxed pup was the best graduation gift we could ask for. We trust Katina 100% and will be booking her again. If you have a senior dog, she’s your person!”
“Laura was fantastic with Tasha, she sent me updates and photos, walked her a couple of times a day. Tasha had a nice time staying overnight. But mostly, i loved that her boy enjoyed having her in his house :)”
“Lola had a blast during her little vacation while we were out of town! We immediately felt comfortable leaving our pup with Jodi and she sent us pictures, videos, and other updates throughout Lola’s stay. We would definitely send Lola to her new friends’ house the next time we vacation!”
About: I’ve always had family animals that I’ve adored and that got my foot into working in rescue! I’ve work with extra small to extra large dogs, a lot of cats and some other species. I feel very comfortable with behavioral differences in different animals. I’ve worked along side very talented vets and techs that have taught me a lot about medical care, as well. I work part time at home with a dog and two cats. I take physical and mental enrichment very seriously for all animals. Any animal I’m caring for comes first everyday. A tired dog is a happy dog. I have friendly animals at home, a large crate if needed and a separate room set up for shy animals to warm up to the other animals. We have a large (not fenced) yard but we take many long walks a day to keep up with physical needs!
About: I have years of experience training dogs of all breeds and life stages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. With a securely fenced-in yard and expert handling, I’ll provide customized care that ensures a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for your pup at any age. I'm semi-retired and my children are grown. I'm home most of the time and would love to share our cozy home with your pet in a safe loving environment while you're out of town. I have a quarter acre fenced in backyard, away from any busy streets. We have large & small dog beds in the living room or if you prefer we also do have crate capacity. There is a state park only a few blocks away from the house that has wonderful hiking trails for dogs. Even when it's busy over the holidays we limit the amount of dogs at a time so the dogs don't get overwhelmed.
About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing extra patience, or a pet that simply enjoys companionship, I provide dependable, attentive care. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I own a marketing agency and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I create my own hours, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and overnight care. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating pet care into my daily routine is a natural fit. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive lots of love, attention, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
“Alexis was fantastic. I booked her last minute and she did an amazing job. Sadie had an upset stomach when I dropped her off and Alexis did a great job with Sadie's meds and looking after her. She was feeling much better when she got home. Would definitely book again.”
“Our lab loved Kevin & we will definitely book with him again. Our dog is an energetic rescue & doesn't like to be alone. Kevin was able to accommodate & was very attentive; he played with him outside in his yard, took him to the dog park & took him along in the car. Plus all the items I took were returned clean & organized!”

“Couldn’t recommend Bailee highly enough! She took great care of my cat whilst I was away and kept in touch the whole time, had absolutely zero issues at all. She went above and beyond with a couple extra things I needed help with as well which was nice She made sure she was fed, had fresh water, played with her, spent time with her, and kept everything clean each day. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated her really well. If you’re looking for someone reliable and thoughtful to look after your cat (or any pet) I’d definitely recommend Bailee.”
“First time using this using this app. I had some last minute things come up on a holiday weekend and was very fortunate to come across Katherine. She is so responsive and flexible, she come over to get squinted with my animal the same night I placed my request and checkin during her visits and outside of here visit to make sure my animal we safe and cared for in case of any emergency. It really show how much delight she get out of this type of work and I trust her in my home and with my animals. I was very hesitant to use this type of service with someone I didn’t know and was in a dire position with no available friend to ask. Now this app/Katherine may just might be my go to for any (ideally planned in advanced 😅) time I’ll be out of town. And become of Katherine I was able be relaxed an ld worry free about my four-legged loved one at home and show up to support the people I love in a very pivotal and spiritual moment in their life and gain an experience and memories I will never forget.”

“Samantha was great with our older cats that needed to be split up during our trip. She let them see each other during he visit and gave them each the food and care needed.”
“Yica and her family did a great job boarding my cat while I traveled. Yica gave consistent updates and shred photos as my cat adjusted. Their house offered plenty of stimulation and I could not be more satisfied with their service.”
“This was the first time we have used Rover or a pet sitter that wasn’t family, and we are so impressed and relieved by the care and attention Claire provided for our kitties! We booked last minute before our trip, and she still made time to do a meet & greet and sent thorough notes and pictures while we were gone. We will definitely book with Claire again!”
“Kelly was fantastic with my cat who needs oral medication. She took time to get to know him and definitely won him over! I received detailed messages and pictures with each visit. Kelly didn’t just give the medication, she gave lots of love and pets too! Definitely peace of mind knowing my fur babies were in caring hands while I was away. Kelly took care in leaving my house neat and tidy as well, cleaning up scattered litter. Great experience and the cats can’t wait til Kelly visits again!”
About: I’ve care for several cats while growing up, across different household and am diligent when it came to litter box cleanings and medication administering, I’ve been scratched and bit up to the face but the love is always the same!
“As others here are saying, Ruth was *really* great--my somewhat shy, standoffish cat quickly and visibly warmed to her (she had a very gentle, low-key way of introducing herself to him). It was a relief to have her checking in on him. As to logistics: she was extremely quick and precise in answering messages, and very patient and flexible with the multiple times I had to tweak my booking request (because of unforeseen travel changes on my end). The kitchen was cleaner than when I left, and Ruth also went out of the way to bring trash and recycling containers off the street, something I hadn't asked her to do but appreciate. As to keeping this skeptical little cat company: she was very perceptive; I would genuinely trust her if there were an emergency of basically any kind. She put him at ease and got him to eat (something he sometimes is reluctant to do when stressed); she must have been a very reassuring presence. I also appreciate her detailed messages and several photos in which he's rolling on his back looking fairly pleased by things. When I got back this morning he seemed in much better spirits than he normally does after I have to travel. Thank you Ruth!”
“Zoe took excellent care of Meatball even coming out after 9pm for final feeding . We will definitely use her again. She kept us updated each day with photos. Thanks !!”
About: I've spent my life making furry and feathered friends! From doggos and horses to birds, hamsters, chickens, and even cats I've pet sat, I've loved every single one like family. I work full-time, but I'm available for pet care before and after work, as well as on weekends. I'm happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, and quality time when you need it most! I currently have one dog who is well loved and part of the family. When caring for pets in my client's home, I do my best to keep them on their normal routine-including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I always respect each owner's instructions so their pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they're away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Tara is warm, friendly, and reliable. She consistently checked in on my cat over several weeks and quickly became a wonderful companion for him. Tara kept me updated with timely communication and showed great responsibility throughout. I will definitely request her help again in the future and highly recommend her services to others.”
About: My whole life surrounds around animals. I’ve had three dogs and two cats growing up. I love to train and get to know puppies! Thank you! I’m on summer break from Penn State University, so my schedule is completely open! I can be anywhere you need as often as you would like! I will make sure to keep along with your pets schedules! I love going for walks and enjoying the outside! Let me know if you need anything specific
“Brigette did an amazing job caring for our fur babies while we were away. She’s very attentive and responsive; sends wonderful pix and videos through the stay. Definitely book her if you’re looking for an awesome and responsible pet sitter!”

“We were a little apprehensive, never used Rover before, we were unfamiliar with Rillan, just had past reviews to help us choose. Happy to say, we were pleasantly surprised! Rillan is definitely a dog person. Our dog loves to play with other dogs, but dogs need to be monitored so they don’t get too crazy. She has a nice outdoor fenced play area and inside open space. Like a good kindergarten teacher, Rillan makes sure each dog plays nicely, separates those that need a time out and also gives individual attention. She sent pictures and stayed in touch, just for an afternoon of doggie day care! Our dog’s day ended with a nap and snuggles with Rillan and another dog hanging out on the sofa!! Will definitely use her again!”
“Tess and Curt were fantastic caregivers. I knew Beau was in great hands-they were warm and friendly and it was clear that they love dogs. In fact, the second day when I entered their driveway, Beau could not wait to get out of the car-this was certainly testimony to his great experience. I knew he was safe and I knew he was having fun interacting with other dogs along with Tess and Curt! I could also see from the videos that my dog was doing well in his new environment! It was a great experience for me and for my dog I will be reaching out to them again! Awesome!!!”
“My dog has major anxiety issues. Katie has been tremendous working with us in order to provide the approach care for our challenged girl. She has helped to troubleshoot what type of care to provide. It is also so reassuring to receive photos during her stays in order to provide me with a peace of mind. It’s truly been a pleasure working with Katie!”
About: As a dog owner, I understand the patience and consistency some dogs need. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and will always follow their routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work part-time with flexible hours, primarily in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets.

About: With 20 years of dog sitting experience, I have a lifelong passion for caring for dogs of all ages. I started dog sitting when I was 14 and have since provided overnight and drop-in services. Having grown up with dogs, I've helped train four puppies and nannied for a family with a senior dog for four years. My experience includes administering medication and catering to the unique needs of both puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. I am dedicated to offering reliable, compassionate, and professional care for your furry friends. I have 2 boys under the age of 5 so we have a louder, high energy house! I work remotely part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility each day to provide dedicated care, attention, and companionship for your furry friend. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety and well-being. Dogs are always taken out on a leash to ensure their safety. I assume all dogs are not friendly unless told otherwise, ensuring a cautious and respectful approach to each new dog. I am knowledgeable about foods that are toxic to dogs and take great care to prevent them from consuming anything harmful. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement, rewarding good behavior rather than punishing the bad, to foster a trusting and happy relationship with the dogs I care for.
“So thankful to find Ryan and Michelle. They are super nice and we’re so kind to care for our standard poodle for a day while we had to rent a U-Haul and pick up some things at my mother’s house three hours away. It was great to know we left him in good hands! We hope they will take Kobi again!”

My goal is to create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
“I am traveling and had to leave Zeus, my 100lbs AmStaff with my mom and sister. Brigette was available short notice and she was punctual and communicative. She was not only comfortable and confident with my big strong boy, but she took my mom and sister along to teach them how to handle him. They had never walked a dog before this week and they say they can now walk him with confidence. her help was absolutely invaluable! She is incredible! I simply cannot speak highly enough of her. If i ever need any help with Zeus again. she is the one!”

About: Growing up my family had a miniature schnauzer and we were lucky enough to have her in our lives for 18 years! I would walk her every day, administer tick and flea medicine, teach her tricks, make eating her food fun as she got older, took her to the groomer, and of course gave her lots of attention and playtime. I've also walked a handful of my friends' dogs before either just around the block or for a few miles depending on much exercise they need.

Right now I work part time so I have some availability during the work week, as well as the weekends. I'd be happy to come walk your dog before work, let your dog out (and or walk them) around lunch time, feed your dog or cat breakfast, lunch or dinner, as well as just spending time playing with your pets and making sure they are getting the attention they need when you are away.

“Tess and Curt helped me out in a pinch when I had to go out of town last minute. They responded promptly and the details were all coordinated very quickly. They are very friendly and have a lovely outdoor space for the pups to run around in. I got lots of pictures throughout Wendy's stay which I really appreciated!”
“Ryan took good care of Isabelle, and we were so thankful that he was able to accommodate us on a holiday. And Isabelle has a great time playing with Ryan’s dog, Charlie!”
“5-stars, no question! Thank you Katie for taking such good care of our boy, Cosmo, and making sure he had everything he needed. Katie was super friendly and knowledgeable. And provided lots of great updates on our young, energetic German Shepherd as he ran around her big backyard and got to play with other dogs all week. Perfect for him! And for us. It's clear he had a great time and was well cared for. Will 100% be using her services again.”
“Laura was fantastic with Tasha, she sent me updates and photos, walked her a couple of times a day. Tasha had a nice time staying overnight. But mostly, i loved that her boy enjoyed having her in his house :)”
About: I’ve always had family animals that I’ve adored and that got my foot into working in rescue! I’ve work with extra small to extra large dogs, a lot of cats and some other species. I feel very comfortable with behavioral differences in different animals. I’ve worked along side very talented vets and techs that have taught me a lot about medical care, as well. I work part time at home with a dog and two cats. I take physical and mental enrichment very seriously for all animals. Any animal I’m caring for comes first everyday. A tired dog is a happy dog. I have friendly animals at home, a large crate if needed and a separate room set up for shy animals to warm up to the other animals. We have a large (not fenced) yard but we take many long walks a day to keep up with physical needs!
About: I have years of experience training dogs of all breeds and life stages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. With a securely fenced-in yard and expert handling, I’ll provide customized care that ensures a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for your pup at any age. I'm semi-retired and my children are grown. I'm home most of the time and would love to share our cozy home with your pet in a safe loving environment while you're out of town. I have a quarter acre fenced in backyard, away from any busy streets. We have large & small dog beds in the living room or if you prefer we also do have crate capacity. There is a state park only a few blocks away from the house that has wonderful hiking trails for dogs. Even when it's busy over the holidays we limit the amount of dogs at a time so the dogs don't get overwhelmed.
About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing extra patience, or a pet that simply enjoys companionship, I provide dependable, attentive care. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I own a marketing agency and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I create my own hours, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and overnight care. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating pet care into my daily routine is a natural fit. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive lots of love, attention, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
“Alexis was fantastic. I booked her last minute and she did an amazing job. Sadie had an upset stomach when I dropped her off and Alexis did a great job with Sadie's meds and looking after her. She was feeling much better when she got home. Would definitely book again.”
“Our lab loved Kevin & we will definitely book with him again. Our dog is an energetic rescue & doesn't like to be alone. Kevin was able to accommodate & was very attentive; he played with him outside in his yard, took him to the dog park & took him along in the car. Plus all the items I took were returned clean & organized!”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to tailor my care to the specific needs of each pet. Whether it's training a new puppy with positive reinforcement techniques or providing specialized care for senior pets, I focus on understanding and addressing their individual requirements. My approach includes regular communication with pet owners to ensure their preferences and routines are followed, making the experience as comfortable and seamless as possible for both pets and their families. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I start by ensuring pets are fed, exercised, and given any necessary medications. Throughout the day, I maintain their environment and address any needs that arise. My routine also includes regular updates to pet owners, providing them with peace of mind and ensuring continuity of care. Each week, I review and adjust routines to accommodate any changes in the pet’s health or behavior. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with secure areas, clean spaces, and safety measures like pet-proofing and monitoring. I also follow a consistent routine to maintain stability and comfort for pets. In a client’s home, I prioritize safety by following their specific instructions and maintaining their pet’s usual environment and routines. I ensure that all doors and gates are securely closed, and I keep the home clean and hazard-free. Regular updates and open communication with the pet owners are key to ensuring their pet’s well-being and their own peace of mind.
About: I will give your dog my full attention as well as my children. We all love animals. My children are super gentle and loving and love to take walks so finding time to take your dog for a walk will be no problem! I am home all day so your dog will get lots of attention! I am choosing to do this because the kids want a dog but I am not fully committed to buying one of our own quite yet, so dog sitting will please everyone. I have a huge yard with the option of fenced in and unfenced areas. We have very few neighbors so if your pup is a barker it will be not a problem. Lots of space to take dogs for walks without running into other people or animals.
About: I have cared for many different types of animals since I was a child. Dogs, cats, bunnies, rats and hamsters. Fostered and lived with many dogs. I currently have dogs and cats. They are the joy of my life especially since the kids (and grand dogs) have grown and moved. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs and 2 cats to keep the fur guests company. Lots of play time in the fenced back yard. And snuggles on the couch.
