“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing experience! We reached out to Rillan just one day before our trip, and she kindly agreed to help us on such short notice. She took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated with frequent messages and photos, which truly made me feel at ease the entire time. It was clear from her updates that she is very gentle with poppies and my dog was comfortable, happy, and treated with genuine kindness. I’m very grateful for her care, and I would gladly trust Rillan again in the future.”
“Had a great experience with Kenya and Simone, and it was clear that our dog was much more relaxed than in a traditional kennel. I appreciated Kenya meeting with us beforehand, since it was my first time using Rover. And great to receive pics of activities during the stay--including watching the World Cup together. :) Very prompt communication, both before and during the stay. Would definitely book with them again!”
“Oh my god! The absolute best I’ve seen yet! Raven was well taken care of and Ryan often sent pictures of Raven! We were on a last minute trip, and Ryan saved us by picking up and dropping off Raven! What a great family and just took the upmost care of Raven! Ryan and his family are hands down the GREATEST!!”
“Granger had SO MUCH fun with Tess and Curt over a long weekend. They kept us so informed on how he was doing with photos and updates, it was great to have peace of mind that he was doing well! We couldn’t recommend them enough.”
“Derya was amazing with our Muggsy . Super friendly and active in sending photos/video updates . Also was able to keep him an extra night for us . We will definitely be using him again . Thank you Derya!!”
“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!”
About: I grew up taking care of pets for neighbors and family, and have had many of my own. At home now, I have our dog Kona and a bearded dragon named Norbert, plus two kids. I'm comfortable with caring for all dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I'd love to send you photos and updates if you would like so you know how things are going while you are away. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm home most of the day, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I absolutely love taking walks so we will be doing plenty of those. If your pet needs a specific feeding or potty schedule, just let me know and I'll stick to it. Our yard isn't fenced, so your dog will go out on leash for walks and potty breaks several times a day. My Dog is super friendly and always up for a new friend. If your pup prefers quiet time or needs a crate to decompress, I can absolutely make that happen as well. I will go over your dogs preferences when I get a chance to talk with you. I'm more than happy to make accommodations to fit your pets needs.
“Jodi is a great sitter and our dog Zoe had a wonderful time playing in the yard with her dogs and cuddling on the couch with Jodi and her family. Jodi took Zoe last minute and made it very easy for us to set up a quick meet and greet and drop off/pick up. She kept a close eye on Zoe’s arthritic hip and applied antibiotics to a cut on her paw. Zoe came home happy and healthy!”
“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.”
“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.”
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!
“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!”
“Always great with updating me on how my puppy is doing. Sends lots of videos and makes sure he gets lots of play time. Very responsible with making sure dogs are separated if they don’t get along with each other. Always watches my dog great”
“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!”

“Rochelle was very professional and effective at taking care of my cat for two weeks while I was on vacation. She genuinely loves cats and they are sure to love her back. I would definitely book her to care for my cat again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets as well as roommates and neighbors. I love spending time and caring for furry friends of all sizes and breeds!

“Hannah was very attentive and caring with my cat! She gave me timely updates and looked for every opportunity to make my cat more comfortable while I was away. Highly recommend Hannah!”
“Christa was great taking care of our two cats with drop-in visits. She was great at making sure she understood their routine (fairly simple but every house is different) asking questions to clarify. She kept in touch throughout a long period of being out of town, giving the social cat playtime and keeping the peace with the anti-social one.”
“Mitty did an excellent job looking after my cat when I was away. She played with my cat a lot and was very attentive to my 13 year old cat’s needs. I received many videos and photos updating on my cat’s adjustment to a new environment. I would definitely recommend Mitty!”
“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!”
“Dave is a fantastic pet sitter and always puts my mind at ease, knowing he’s taking care of the fur babies when I’m away. Keeps me updated with lots of cute pix of the little ones and does a wonderful job of checking on the house too! Always a pleasure to have Dave on the job 😁”
About: I have experience watching cats of all types, ages, and levels of medical need. I have two cats of my own, grew up with cats in my childhood home, and have watched many cats for friends and family. I am excited to work with you based on your cat's unique needs and personality!
“Irene was great with dropping in on my two cats while I was away on a long work trip. Both my cats are unique, and she understood immediately how to work with their different temperaments. Also, she was able to communicate well with me throughout the 10-days. When I was having issues with the Rover app, she was understanding and helpful and we quickly figured out any issues. I’d recommend Irene and work with her again. Thanks!”
“Our kitten, elderly golden, and my partner and I love Katrina! She is very communicative and reliable, and we feel very comfortable with and look forward to her taking care of our cat and dog. We’ve used her services a few times now and will continue to do so. Highly recommend!”
“Emmy was fantastic with my cat 💕🐈 She was so sweet and communicative which gave me peace of mind while I was out of the country! Not to mention that my cat absolutely LOVED her from the moment she met her! Emmy made sure Cleo got quality social time, not just the basics which was exactly what I wanted. Very, very happy with this booking and cannot wait to have Emmy watch my girl again for several upcoming trips this year! Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Sydney remains the champion of pet sitting. We were gone for a week and we came home to happy, healthy cats. She always provides excellent updates and lots of pictures, and goes the extra mile in figuring out each cat’s favorite toy for the best possible playtime. Sydney is simply the best!”
“This is the third time I’ve booked Carla to watch my cats while we’re away. She does such a fantastic job and I absolutely trust her to take best care of them. She’s super communicative and I feel at ease knowing Alma, Tish, and Ziggy are in good hands.”
“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 !!”

“Katie took excellent care of our dog while we were at a football game. Our dog can be very timid but he looked super happy i. The photos she sent. Highly recommend and hope to use her again.”
“We needed a place for our dog to stay for the day while we attended a university event, and Rillan took wonderful care of him. Our dog had a happy and enjoyable day with her. Thank you so much for your kindness and great care.”
“If you’re looking for the absolute best care for your dog, look no further than the amazing Tess & Kurt! From the moment we met them, it was clear how much they genuinely love dogs. They took the time to get to know my pup’s personality and quirks, and introduced her to their dog in a very patient and understanding way. Their communication was fantastic—they provided hourly updates (which they didn’t have to do) and the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was so happy and relaxed when I returned, I could tell she’d been showered with attention. What really sets them apart is their kindness and patience. I can’t recommend them highly enough—trustworthy, caring, and truly the nicest dog sitters ever. Chili can’t wait for his next stay! Thank you both for everything! 🐾”
“Ryan is great. He is responsive and takes good care of Leo. Ryan's puppy, Charlie, and Leo have become friends. Leo is looking forward to future visits with Ryan and Charlie.”
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.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always had a dog growing up, so caring for pups has always come naturally to me! 🐾 Over the past 10+ years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Along with helping friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve also gained even more experience through our local Facebook community by caring for pets for families in the area. I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality! Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or just curling up for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family because I know how much they mean to you. Have more than one pup? No problem! My spouse is also available to help during overnight stays, so there’s always an extra set of hands to make sure each dog gets plenty of love and attention. We’re both Penn State students, which gives us lots of flexibility with our schedules and boarding in our home. That means more playtime, walks, potty breaks, cuddles, and one-on-one attention throughout the day! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands! 💕🐶 I’m currently a college student and work part-time as a babysitter, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. Being a babysitter has taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dependable care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or boarding, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and house rules. I take the time to build trust with every pet and make sure they feel comfortable in my care.

About: As a dog owner, I understand the patience and consistency some dogs need.

About: Hi! I’m a college student at Penn state university with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially while I’m home for the summer and have a more open schedule. I plan my days around my availability (11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays) and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to follow instructions carefully and build trust with both pets and owners. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding, and companionship without long gaps in supervision. I’m able to easily adjust my work hours to accommodate walks, playtime, and any specific care needs, including medications or special routines. On a weekly basis, my flexibility also allows me to take on longer visits, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings, ensuring pets receive reliable and attentive care whenever needed. I prioritize following each pet’s routine and any specific instructions to ensure their well-being and reduce stress. I take time to build trust with pets through patience, gentle handling, and consistent care, helping them feel secure while their owners are away. I also maintain a clean, safe environment by monitoring surroundings, preventing potential hazards, and ensuring pets are always supervised appropriately. My goal is to create a calm, reliable space where pets feel at ease and owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands.
“Melanie and Doran couldn’t have been more perfect!! They were so kind and made my dog feel right at home. They were super attentive and gave lots of updates and pictures which made my day! I am so grateful for this help! My pup is pretty anxious and he settled right in!”
“My dog, Mr. Cow Cow had a wonderful day with Sarah! She immediately made him feel right at home. he had fun playing with Sarah‘s dog and Sarah sent me updates and pictures along the way.I was worried he might not want to leave when I came back to pick him up! 🤣😂”
About: I have taken care of a large variety of dogs since I was in middle school, outside of the 3 I have grown up with. I have always been reliable to feed, walk, play and give potty breaks according to each dog’s needs. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from 5 lbs to 150 lbs, and dogs of all ages. I work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I mainly work in the afternoons, but my house always has someone available for constant socializing. Whenever I am not at work, I am at home, and will have plenty of quality time to give your pet. :) I love to go on long walks, and have friends who like to join so your animal will be thoroughly socialized. I ensure your dog is never bored with plenty of play time and attention. I am happy to take your pet to a nearby dog park as well, if that is something you are comfortable with.
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.

Lots of play time in the fenced back yard. And snuggles on the couch.

“Rochelle is the best dog walker I’ve come across on Rover. She is responsible, quick to respond to messaging, and spends extra time with my pup. If I could give her more than five stars, I would. Highly recommend.”
About: My mom is a zoologist, so I was raised learning how to treat all animals with the best care. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special food conditions. I know that our pets our just as much part of the family as humans, and I promise to provide them with the best and most loving care as if they were my own. I am currently a full-time college student with an internship that typically keeps me busy in the afternoons. However, my schedule is flexible with mornings and evenings typically being more open. From experience with my own pets, I find that dogs and cats miss their owners just as much as their owners miss them when they’re away, if not more. That being said, after completing any responsibilities the family has asked of me, I always take some extra time to hang out with the pets to make sure they feel loved while missing their family. I also find that the families appreciate picture and text updates of how their pets are doing while they’re gone. I always make sure to do that so the owners can trust their pets are in good hands.
“Katrina was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was incredibly helpful, consistently timely, and impressively punctual throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and positive attitude made everything smooth and stress‑free. I’ll definitely be recommending her to others and will gladly rebook her services again in the future.”
About: Hello! Thanks for considering me to look after your furry loved one. :) I've been a cat owner for most of my life and also have experience with all kinds of dogs through previous pet-sitting. I'm also accustomed to caring for kittens and pets with special dietary and/or medication needs. I have two cats of my own, Suki and Dimitri, who mean more to me than anything! As an educator in my daily life, I take communication very seriously--I also know that when I go out of town, my babies are always on my mind! That's why when I look after pets, I am sure to provide frequent updates and pictures so that you can feel confident that your pets are doing well. I am a PhD student working on my dissertation, which means my schedule is incredibly flexible and I can easily work with your availability to find times that work for everyone! As a guest to your home, I will carefully respect your pets' space and boundaries to make them feel as safe as possible. Creating a relationship of trust, both with you as a client and with your pet, is extremely important to me.

About: I love take walks, so walking you pet(s) would not be an issue. I also love interacting and be being there for them as well.

I would be able to look after your pet(s) after 8a.m and before 2p.m. This would be during the week day and sometimes the weekends as well. This varies by what eat pet(s) would need, but I know for my dogs wiping them after they walk is a big thing. I would also abide to any rules or regulations they would need and also treat them as my own as well.

“Oh my god! The absolute best I’ve seen yet! Raven was well taken care of and Ryan often sent pictures of Raven! We were on a last minute trip, and Ryan saved us by picking up and dropping off Raven! What a great family and just took the upmost care of Raven! Ryan and his family are hands down the GREATEST!!”

About: I grew up taking care of pets for neighbors and family, and have had many of my own. At home now, I have our dog Kona and a bearded dragon named Norbert, plus two kids. I'm comfortable with caring for all dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I'd love to send you photos and updates if you would like so you know how things are going while you are away. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm home most of the day, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I absolutely love taking walks so we will be doing plenty of those. If your pet needs a specific feeding or potty schedule, just let me know and I'll stick to it. Our yard isn't fenced, so your dog will go out on leash for walks and potty breaks several times a day. My Dog is super friendly and always up for a new friend. If your pup prefers quiet time or needs a crate to decompress, I can absolutely make that happen as well. I will go over your dogs preferences when I get a chance to talk with you. I'm more than happy to make accommodations to fit your pets needs.
“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.”
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!
“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 have 20+ years of experience with caring for pets. I do my job and do it correctly, I take safety of animals very strictly, so they will be safe at all times. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I need to make cash to provide for my family, also I have time on my hands to help people who need care for their pets. I provide care in your home by feeding your pets with their correct food and having a play pal, also when they need to be walked I happen to be able to do that so they get their daily walks and potty time in. I have plenty of time on my hands to help your dogs or cats have a great day! My daily/weekly routine is making sure your pets are loved and taken care of even when you aren’t home I care for your pets in you home with the up most love and respect they deserve, I will give them pets, play with them, walk them so they have outdoor time.
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.
