About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I have been actively house sitting and caring for friends’, family’s, neighbors’, and other people’s pets. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and exercise, extra patience and reassurance, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a stay at home dog mom to my dog, Draco, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am able to take them outside frequently for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and fresh air. I love having animals around and will make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I am happy to follow whatever routine and preferences you have established for your pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I want to keep them as comfortable and consistent as possible while you are away.

My goal is to follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way you would!
“Tania and her family took amazing care of our Mac! We didn’t worry once during our time away, as we knew he was in great hands. Tania is a great communicator, and sent us many pictures of our baby throughout the weekend. When we got there to pick him up, he was in no rush to leave. What a great feeling!”
“Becky took care of our dog for a week while we were out of town. She is amazing and took great care of our dog. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which made my son super happy. Our dog had a great time!”
“Betsy took excellent care of our dog, as usual. She sent regular photo updates and took him on walks as well as some special adventures. We always trust her and Ron to look after our dog as their own. He’s always comfortable and at home with them.”
“This was my first time leaving Micah with someone. It was great. Micah left with Angelita as if she'd known him forever. I really liked that. Angelita now has another client! Thanks, Angelita.”
“Genalind and the whole family were great with my dogs.. will definitely book with her again. Great pictures and keeping me posted with my dogs all day.. We loved that.. thank you so much”
“Michael was very accommodating regarding booking my pup’s stay being that it was somewhat last minute. This was the first time I had booked with Michael, and everything was great. He was very attentive and communicated with me throughout the three-day stay. He did Pup Painting with her, and she came home with her masterpiece! I know my baby was taking care of, and I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“They were amazing, gave updates throughout the time my Rose was there. My dog is a rescue so she has anxiety issues but they cared for her needs very well. Will definitely be using them more often.”
“Kelly was great. She took good care of our dog while we were away. Our dog suffers from seizures and he takes medicine and she was able to handle those special needs without any trouble. She communicated with us if she had any questions. Our dog seemed content and well taken care of when we picked him up.”

“There is no way I can begin to say enough good things about Ash and how well she took care of Bella and our house while we were away. From the very first time Ash came over to meet Bella, it was clear she was going to be a great fit. She and Bella were friends from the start! While we were away, Ash’s communication was excellent. After every visit, she sent detailed and accurate updates about Bella and everything going on around the house. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing Bella was happy, comfortable, and being so well cared for. It is obvious that Ash genuinely cares about the furry family members she looks after, and that really showed in the way Bella responded to her. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy sitter, I would highly recommend Ash. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with Bella and our home again!”
“I could not have asked for a better catsitter. Erin made sure to update me after every visit with pictures to see how my boy was doing, and he looked happy to see her every time. He got plenty of play time and affection on top of the basic necessities. She delivers on all of her promises– and she makes sure to tell you what to expect well in advance along. Einstein was well-fed, well-loved, and well-looked-after thanks to Erin. I look forward to booking her again in the future!”

I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay or visit. My goal is to make your dog feel as happy and stress-free as possible while giving you confidence that they’re being treated like family every step of the way! I work M-F 8am to 4:30pm.

“I've never felt so relaxed on a trip knowing my pets were being taken care of and safe. I could definitely tell there was genuine care for my pets. Thank you so so much.”

“Kianna was amazing! She was so quick and responsive with which to communicate. She understood and tolerated my long cat sitting instructions and my cat Jack took right to her. She was able to come and care for him based on my schedule, which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and rebook her with no hesitation. What a gem to find!”
About: I’ve taken care of childhood dogs since I was 12. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with all sorts of animals growing up. I would be able to care for pets during the weekends and after 430pm weekdays. It is a great way not only to bond with animals but also get my daily exercise in. In a clients home, I would be able to feed the dog, play with it, and take it on walks like it was my own animal. For walking, I would make sure they enjoyed themselves, and add some play time in as well to make it more rewarding for the animal.
“I can't say enough about Denise !! She treated our dog like it was her own. Eyedrops were required and she didn't hesitate (we have a Rottweiler) I don't want any other pet sitter! SHE'S THE ONE!!”
About: Hours of availability on the weekends, Friday 5pm-Sun 9pm. Possibly before 5 on fridays depending on location. I Love dogs, and have had 3 jack Russell terriers and 2 German short haired pointers and now 2 Labrador retrievers. I want to make it easy for pet owners to do things and not have to worry about their pet. I have also been in charge of the grooming(nails,bathing etc) since I was young. I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs especially my own and they love me and I love them. I just love them so much. I always fall in love and they fall in love with me. It never fails. I’m currently working full time but my schedule allows me to still make time to do other things like enjoy a second job which is good I love to cuddle and play with the babies, love to feed and rub them and even talk to them. They are the best ever
About: Animals have always been my world. As an only child, my pets were my very first best friends, teaching me early on how deep the bond between humans and animals truly is. For 35 of my 40 years, I have never been without a furry companion.Aside from being a happy wife of 25 years, my absolute biggest joy in life was raising my three daughters alongside a constant, loving flock of family pets. Now that my girls are all adults, I am dedicating my time and heart to expanding my pet care circle.Over decades of pet ownership, I have developed a deep expertise in handling a wide variety of animal personalities, ages, and medical needs. I am equally skilled at engaging in high-energy playtime with energetic pups as I am providing the patient, specialized care that senior pets and puppies require.This expertise comes from a very personal place. I am the proud pet parent of a handsome Pomchi who manages IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). Caring for his unique daily needs has given me specialized, hands-on experience in medical management, gentle handling, and strict care routines. I understand how to read an animal’s body language, adapt to different temperaments, and provide a safe, tailored environment for pets who require an extra-gentle touch.Honestly, if you ask my family, they might tell you I sometimes love pets more than humans—and they might be right! Cats and dogs offer a pure, uncomplicated love, and I mirror that right back to them. I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies with someone else. When your dogs or cats are with me, they become a true extension of our family, receiving the exact same unconditional love, professional attentiveness, and spoiling that my own pets enjoy. Because my children are grown, my days are completely open and focused on the home. I do work full-time remotely, but my job provides immense flexibility. I am not tied to a rigid desk setup; rather, my schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice to tend to animal needs, monitor playtime, or provide constant, frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my workday.My days are naturally structured around consistent, high-quality care:Morning Structure: Early morning potty breaks, fresh water refills, and structured breakfast times. This is also when I administer any morning medications or specific physical therapy routines before I log into work.Active & Attentive Afternoons: While I work, your pet is right by my side. Mid-day is reserved for tailored care. For high-energy guests, that means dedicated backyard playtime and quick brain games between my tasks. For puppies, seniors, or special-needs pets like my IVDD Pomchi, this time is focused on gentle companionship, scheduled rest, and closely supervised, frequent potty intervals.Evening Wind-Down: A reliable dinner schedule followed by relaxing, low-stress evening cuddles. I perform thorough wellness and comfort checks on all animals before bedtime.Since I manage a strict care routine for my own pup while working, I am incredibly time-disciplined. Whether your pet needs a yard break every hour, strict medication intervals, or just a constant, reassuring human presence while you are away, my remote work setup gives me the perfect flexibility to provide it. Because I work full-time remotely with excellent schedule flexibility, my care philosophy is centered on constant supervision, emotional comfort, and strict routine adherence—whether your pet is staying under my roof or I am visiting yours.Here is how I tailor my care to each environment:🏡 In My Home (Boarding & Daycare)Spacious Outdoor Areas: I am fortunate to have a large front and backyard, giving your pets plenty of secure outdoor space to sniff, stretch their legs, and burn off energy throughout the day.A Safe Environment: Inside, my home is set up to handle a variety of animal needs. Because I care for my own handsome Pomchi with IVDD, my space is highly optimized for safety, gentle movement, and comfort.Constant Companionship: Since I work from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. They will spend the day right by my side, enjoying free reign of the common areas, frequent lap snugs, or resting comfortably in a designated quiet space.Frequent Potty & Play Breaks: My flexible schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice. High-energy dogs get frequent, supervised yard play sessions, while puppies or seniors get the constant, hourly potty breaks they require.🚗 In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-In Visits)Respecting Their Safe Space: I understand that many pets (especially cats or senior dogs) feel most secure in their own environment. When I care for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their exact comfort zones, favorite sleeping spots, and hidden nooks.Flawless Routine Replication: I treat your house rules as law. I map out your exact feeding times, specific walking routes, and medication schedules. Because I am used to managing strict medical and physical routines for my own dog, you can trust that your pet's schedule will not miss a beat.Remote Work Mobility: For overnight house sitting, I bring my remote work setup with me. This means your pet still gets the benefit of a constant human presence, mid-day companionship, and frequent attention without me having to leave them alone for an 8-hour workday.Home Security & Updates: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure. You will receive consistent updates, detailed notes, and plenty of photos so you have total peace of mind while you are away.
“Ashley has been caring for my little dog for 2 years now and we are so grateful!! She is amazing and so kind with my unique dog. My dog gets excited in the car when pulling up in front of her house, and goes running up the stairs as soon as she opens the door, he absolutely loves being there!! Ashley is so generous sending gifts for my dog and giving him extra love and treats while she watches him. We're very grateful to have Ashley in our area!!!”

“My dog Ireland warmed up to Kellyann when I dropped her off today. Ireland.has never been in a home setting before for daycare. Kellyann kept me informed throughout the day with updates and pics of Ireland. This really helped me to feel secure about my "baby girl" staying there.I would highly recommend contacting Kellyann to take care of your pet!!”
“My dog spent a day with Gwendoline in advance of an overnight stay in the near future. Wow! I've used Rover several times for daycare and boarding and this was by far the best setup and experience as a pet owner! I even got a report at the end of the day with details on my dogs potty and drink breaks and lots of extra photos! Although leaving my pet is really hard, I feel like he will be really well cared for with Gwendoline!”

About: For the past 18 years, I’ve been a trusted pet sitter and dog walker for family, friends, coworkers, and employers. Today, my husband and I share our home with two cats and an axolotl. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for animals of all ages and needs, including puppies and kittens, senior pets, animals recovering from illness, and those with special physical, emotional, or dietary requirements. Much of this experience comes from caring for my own pets as well as the pets of others. If I am not confident that I can meet your pets needs based on your request I will let you know promptly so you can reach out to another pet sitter who can provide the care your pet needs. I believe animals enrich our lives with unconditional love, companionship, and joy. When they’re in my care, I strive to provide that same level of love, attention, patience, and respect in return. Pet care fits easily into my current daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am able to accommodate a variety of schedules and routines and can plan my day around the needs of each pet. This flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care rather than trying to fit pet care around a busy work schedule. When I first meet a pet, I like to let them approach me at their own pace and take time to build trust. I understand that being separated from their people and meeting someone new can be stressful, so I focus on maintaining their familiar routines and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, needs, routines, and favorite activities so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and happy while their family is away. I also remain attentive to potential hazards and take steps to keep pets safe in their home. I am careful to follow owners instructions for pet care and rules of the home to make sure everyone is safe. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel most comfortable and content. For a pets comfort, I do my best keep their routine and environment as consistent as consistent as possible in the absence of their owners.

Whether you have dogs, cats, or exotic pets and reptiles, I am here to help. I provide frequent text updates and pictures to ensure you have total peace of mind while you’re away. I am a full time stay at home mom, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I am home almost 24 hours a day every day. I know how to administer oral medication, take your pet for a walk and provide baths to animals. I am good at keeping pets on their schedules.
About: Hours of availability on the weekends, Friday 5pm-Sun 9pm. Possibly before 5 on fridays depending on location. I Love dogs, and have had 3 jack Russell terriers and 2 German short haired pointers and now 2 Labrador retrievers. I want to make it easy for pet owners to do things and not have to worry about their pet. I have also been in charge of the grooming(nails,bathing etc) since I was young. I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.
About: ✨HE/HIM/THEY✨🏳️⚧️✨ I love dogs (and other fur babies) more than anything and I put in 110% to make sure your pet/dog is properly cared for. I've had 5 dogs and had a little dog named Eric (rip) and I've raised and trained him since he was a puppy. I have some vet experience and I've worked at a pet resort so I've been with all kinds of dogs imaginable and I've given them their meds and anything special they need. I've also worked with cats, rats, birds, and fish. ✨Pet CPR Certified✨ *Due to surging gas prices and an attempt to keep prices low for clients I will limit where I’m willing to drive, thank you so much!!*🐶✨ Current Pets: Ember (Shiba-Inu), Aspen (Chow-mix), Quails, 4 cats (Fig, Pancake, Cheddar, Dough)! I work full time, 8hrs at most so your pet would be out with my wife or if they’re crate trained they may be in their crate as my wife works from home, but other than that when I’m home we play in our fenced yard and go for walks! I have a fenced in yard and the pups are kennel trained so if we go out they stay in their houses til we get back. Whatever rules you have for your place, I will follow to the T ☺️
About: I treat every dog like my own, tailoring care to their unique personality and routine. With me, your pup gets full-time love and attention in a cozy, stress-free home—not a kennel. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their schedule, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I am a full time student who student teaches at an elementary during the week. This gives me free weekends and a completely free summer, perfect for anytime you have a vacation! When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep everything familiar and comfortable—just like you never left. I stick to your pet’s routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or favorite spots for naps. I keep things clean, calm, and fun, and I always give updates so you know your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.
About: Hello! My name is Danielle Martin. I have a master's degree in School Psychology from Millersville University and I work at a local school district. In my spare time, I enjoy being outside, cooking, and of course, spending time with all the doggos! I currently have a 6-year-old Bernese Mountain Mix, named Ryker, who I adopted in May 2020. Best quarantine decision ever! Previously, I have owned two Great Danes, so I have experience with large breeds. As a dog sitter, I aim to spend as much time with your dogs as possible, so that their time spent away from you is a pleasant one. If the dogs are up for it, I love taking them on walks and hikes, playing with their favorite toy together, and of course, snuggling and relaxing together. Since starting with Rover, I have met so many amazing pups of all ages and sizes. I also have experience with cats, small pets, birds, and reptiles! I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I am currently not working for the summer (one of the perks of being in public education!), which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I am not providing in-home sitting at this time. When at a clients home, I am respectful of the property and aim to leave the home in the same (or better) condition as when I arrived.
About: It's nice to meet you! My name is Jess. I have always loved having pets of my own, including my two doodles! I also grew up with a cat and a dog. I am an educator who enjoys taking care of pets; I have worked through Rover for about 5 years now, primarily doing bookings during summers. Over the years, I have watched pets for family members many times. I have stayed at their houses or made frequent visits. I understand the importance of exercise for dogs, and am committed to keeping that routine. I am responsible, helpful, friendly, and passionate about caring for pets and people too. I can even keep up with simple pet grooming, per request. It would be a joy to care for your pet(s) any time! I am located in Manheim, PA and I am willing to travel to homes within about 5 miles. Thanks for reading- I hope to connect with you and your furry friend soon! I am a teacher, with more availability offered in the summer. I would be available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. Flexibility in times for drop-ins would be helpful for me. I will maintain familiar care routines by your instructions so that your fur baby feels comfortable and happy. I will make sure the space stays tidy.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I have been actively house sitting and caring for friends’, family’s, neighbors’, and other people’s pets. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and exercise, extra patience and reassurance, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a stay at home dog mom to my dog, Draco, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am able to take them outside frequently for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and fresh air. I love having animals around and will make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I am happy to follow whatever routine and preferences you have established for your pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I want to keep them as comfortable and consistent as possible while you are away. I am comfortable following crate training routines, feeding schedules, walking and potty schedules, medication instructions, and any other specific instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for neighbors’ animals and am comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My goal is to follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way you would!

About: Animals have always been my world. As an only child, my pets were my very first best friends, teaching me early on how deep the bond between humans and animals truly is. For 35 of my 40 years, I have never been without a furry companion.Aside from being a happy wife of 25 years, my absolute biggest joy in life was raising my three daughters alongside a constant, loving flock of family pets. Now that my girls are all adults, I am dedicating my time and heart to expanding my pet care circle.Over decades of pet ownership, I have developed a deep expertise in handling a wide variety of animal personalities, ages, and medical needs. I am equally skilled at engaging in high-energy playtime with energetic pups as I am providing the patient, specialized care that senior pets and puppies require.This expertise comes from a very personal place. I am the proud pet parent of a handsome Pomchi who manages IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). Caring for his unique daily needs has given me specialized, hands-on experience in medical management, gentle handling, and strict care routines. I understand how to read an animal’s body language, adapt to different temperaments, and provide a safe, tailored environment for pets who require an extra-gentle touch.Honestly, if you ask my family, they might tell you I sometimes love pets more than humans—and they might be right! Cats and dogs offer a pure, uncomplicated love, and I mirror that right back to them. I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies with someone else. When your dogs or cats are with me, they become a true extension of our family, receiving the exact same unconditional love, professional attentiveness, and spoiling that my own pets enjoy. Because my children are grown, my days are completely open and focused on the home. I do work full-time remotely, but my job provides immense flexibility. I am not tied to a rigid desk setup; rather, my schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice to tend to animal needs, monitor playtime, or provide constant, frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my workday.My days are naturally structured around consistent, high-quality care:Morning Structure: Early morning potty breaks, fresh water refills, and structured breakfast times. This is also when I administer any morning medications or specific physical therapy routines before I log into work.Active & Attentive Afternoons: While I work, your pet is right by my side. Mid-day is reserved for tailored care. For high-energy guests, that means dedicated backyard playtime and quick brain games between my tasks. For puppies, seniors, or special-needs pets like my IVDD Pomchi, this time is focused on gentle companionship, scheduled rest, and closely supervised, frequent potty intervals.Evening Wind-Down: A reliable dinner schedule followed by relaxing, low-stress evening cuddles. I perform thorough wellness and comfort checks on all animals before bedtime.Since I manage a strict care routine for my own pup while working, I am incredibly time-disciplined. Whether your pet needs a yard break every hour, strict medication intervals, or just a constant, reassuring human presence while you are away, my remote work setup gives me the perfect flexibility to provide it. Because I work full-time remotely with excellent schedule flexibility, my care philosophy is centered on constant supervision, emotional comfort, and strict routine adherence—whether your pet is staying under my roof or I am visiting yours.Here is how I tailor my care to each environment:🏡 In My Home (Boarding & Daycare)Spacious Outdoor Areas: I am fortunate to have a large front and backyard, giving your pets plenty of secure outdoor space to sniff, stretch their legs, and burn off energy throughout the day.A Safe Environment: Inside, my home is set up to handle a variety of animal needs. Because I care for my own handsome Pomchi with IVDD, my space is highly optimized for safety, gentle movement, and comfort.Constant Companionship: Since I work from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. They will spend the day right by my side, enjoying free reign of the common areas, frequent lap snugs, or resting comfortably in a designated quiet space.Frequent Potty & Play Breaks: My flexible schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice. High-energy dogs get frequent, supervised yard play sessions, while puppies or seniors get the constant, hourly potty breaks they require.🚗 In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-In Visits)Respecting Their Safe Space: I understand that many pets (especially cats or senior dogs) feel most secure in their own environment. When I care for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their exact comfort zones, favorite sleeping spots, and hidden nooks.Flawless Routine Replication: I treat your house rules as law. I map out your exact feeding times, specific walking routes, and medication schedules. Because I am used to managing strict medical and physical routines for my own dog, you can trust that your pet's schedule will not miss a beat.Remote Work Mobility: For overnight house sitting, I bring my remote work setup with me. This means your pet still gets the benefit of a constant human presence, mid-day companionship, and frequent attention without me having to leave them alone for an 8-hour workday.Home Security & Updates: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure. You will receive consistent updates, detailed notes, and plenty of photos so you have total peace of mind while you are away.
