Personalized care for your dog or cat - Locust Point
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Locust Point
“Biscuit LOVES Sowmya and her family! They are always so nice towards her and she loves coming for a sleepover. This family has easily become Biscuit’s go-to when my partner and I have to leave out of town… which has been happening more frequently bc of the holidays!”
“Oleg was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and took our dogs last minute when we had to go out of town for a funeral. Our pups had so much fun with his family and his lab. They both came home exhausted from lots of play time! We will definitely use Oleg’s services again.”
“Heather and her family greeted our dogs with loving, open arms. They have a lovely home with a farm which allowed the dogs to be entertained from their playpen with chickens and ducks. Our dogs are completely happy with no problems while they were visiting Heather and Family. Heather is great at communication and gets back to you right away. We asked for pictures and Heather sent lots of pictures to comfort us knowing our girls were safe and well loved.”
“Josie and her family were absolutely AMAZING with our boy, Oakley. They went above and beyond to make sure Oakley had a great stay and even helped me figure out new food options for him. I highly recommend Josie!!! 1000/10!”
“David and his family welcomed our dog like he was their own! They took care to meet him ahead of time to make sure they would be compatible. David’s communication was amazing throughout the process. Would highly recommend!”
“Pam and Michael were wonderful! They are clearly animal lovers and I trust they took care of our dog as their own. They sent lots of pictures and videos while we were gone. Our dog came home tired from playing and very happy.”
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Vasumathy was an excellent choice for our puppy. She started us with a meet and greet which was a great idea. She sent us daily updates and videos. She made us feel at ease when we had to leave our lab for four days. We would definitely use her again.”
“I had such a positive experience with Patricia. She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, she sent multiple updates and photos each day we were gone. Lambeau loved his stay!”
“Kathy watched our dog for a week and Nova had a great time! Kathy pays attention to every detail and ensures our dog is comfortable and happy! This was our second booking with Kathy and we hope she is always available if we need her!!”
“Jacky had a great time staying with De'Andra & Robert while I was on a work trip. De'Andra sent many pictures and kept me updated on how Jacky was doing. Jacky felt right at home and got along very well with their dogs Crosby and Spyder. Such a great experience, I highly recommend De'Andra and Robert!”
“Mandeep did a great job taking care of Our Golden doodle Milo. She seems so comfortable with him. I will definitely go to her in future and highly recommend her. Kavita Chaudhary”
“Jack was great! This was our first experience using rover and Jack made the process super easy and low stress. We'll definitely be booking Jack again when we need a pet sittet.”
“Angela and Ken were welcoming and very enthusiastic about taking care of our Bichon mix and Chipoo. They have a wonderful (fully-fenced!) back yard in which the dogs were free to run and play. The dogs became part of their family for the day. We would highly recommend this sitter to all.”
“Christine took such great care of Sadie last week! Sadie has always gone to a kennel when we’re on vacation, but at age 14 and in declining health, we weren’t comfortable with that option this summer and decided to try Rover for the first time. We’re so glad that we did! Christine was so patient with our girl, and it really put our minds at ease to get updates and pictures throughout the week, and to know that she was enjoying lots of couch snuggles and attention.”
“Jaideep was very communicative and easily accommodated my early morning drop off and pick up. He sent pictures of Sasha looking very content during her stay with him, and kept me updated on everything. I’m just passing through the area, but if you’re local to Harrisburg, PA then definitely book him!”

Cat caregivers near you - Locust Point
“Brittany was an awesome pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, while I was out of town for the week. She was great at keeping me up-to date on waffles and sent many pictures. I would definitely rebook in the future, as it seemed my cat was comfortable as she came out of her hiding spot many times, which is unusual for her with new people.”
“Kari took such great care of our kitties while we were on vacation. I know they had a great time based on picture proof 😂 she will make you feel at ease leaving your babies ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time healthcare worker and lifelong cat lover with experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities—from playful kittens to shy seniors. I understand that every cat is different, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll respect their routine and provide the care they need while you’re away. I know how much peace of mind matters when leaving your pet, so I’ll provide updates and photos during each visit. My goal is to make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re apart.
“Becky did a fantastic job watching my cat again! She’s very communicative and patient, this was the second time I booked with her and would absolutely work with her again!”
“Kasandra was great! She checked on our cat while we were out of town and it made leaving him so much easier knowing he was in good hands. We will be booking with her again!”
“Isabella took great care of my kitty for the week while I was on vacation! She sent me daily updates and photos and even cleaned up after her when she had an accident! I’d highly recommend Isabella for your next vacation!”
“Aubrey did a wonderful job and took great care of my kittens, turtle, and rabbit. She got back to me super quickly and was great with communication. She was kind and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Aubrey!”
“Abby is the best! She communicates well, is detailed-oriented, and is very responsive. We rest assured that our cats and home are in good care with her when we travel. We highly recommend Abby!”
“This was the second time Sydney watched my cat and she was very well taken care of! She sent great pictures while I was out of town and Zoey was happy when I got home. Thanks again, Sydney!”
“Marlaina was terrific with our 2 cats. She is both professional and also caring with them while understanding their different personalities. She was very easy to communicate with and we could actually relax and not worry about them while we were on vacation. We would certainly love to have her cat sit for us again.”
About: I currently have 3 pet cats and I love them all so much. I think that cats are truly the perfect pet and they are in general amazing animals. Even when I am on vacation I try and find cats because I miss mine so much. Any cat I find I want to be its new best friend. I am really good at getting cats to take their pills as one of my cats is notoriously good at sneaking it out of her mouth!
About: Ive had dogs and cats my entire life - big and small. I currently have 4 cats and love them more than anything. I also take care of several strays by our house and even a possum or two - I love to nurture and make animals feel safe and protected. I'll go above and beyond to take care of your beloved pets! I work remotely as a systems administrator for the last 5 years. Looking to make a little extra money by doing something that I love! Very flexible with my time and can help on short notice I understand that every pet is different and has unique needs! My one cat Merlin is on a special urinary care diet so I take tons of precautions to make sure he doesnt have access to my other cats food. Ill treat your pets health and safety as if they were my own!
About: I enjoy connecting with animals and creating a safe and secure environment for them. I look forward to inviting new dogs into our home and having our teenage daughter help care for them. Additionally our dog Raven is ready to have some playmates- she has a lot of energy but is gentle with small pups! We have a fenced yard with lots of space to run! I have been around dogs of all sizes since I was young and have taken care of family members’ and neighbors’ pets for years. I want to make sure that when we meet your dog he/she feels comfortable enough with Raven and us, so we will request a visit prior to your time away. Spending time outdoors is very important to me and I believe it is for kids and pets too! We look forward to opening our home and hearts to meeting you and your pup! My husband and I are home on the weekends so we will have plenty of time to spoil your pup! Also our daughter will be home to provide lots of TLC! We typically get home from work on weekdays around 4pm. Pets are allowed on our furniture and can sleep in our room with Raven. We will give them lots of attention, daily walks and playtime.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Locust Point
“Bentley absolutely loves spending time with this amazing family and their sweet dog! After they cared for him for nine days while I was in Florida, I truly started considering them his second family. So when I needed a day trip out of town, there was no question where he was going. It gives me so much peace knowing he’s not just being watched — he’s genuinely loved and having the best time. Highly recommend!”
“David is very patient and caring, great petsitter for your dog, He listens to your detailed instructions for doggie daycare and I'm sure for boarding as well. My Jovie got lots of exercise in fenced in backyard and very nice neighborhood with sidewalks to walk your dog during the day and evening. I had no worries leaving him at his house, sent me pictures and kept me up-to-date on everything.”
“I am lucky to have had Vasumathy help me with pup-care. The pics and video Vasu sent me Day #1 showed me a happy dog. Day #2 confirmed it. My little guy was making his trademark excited noises from the car as we approached Vasu's house. Care included indoor play with toys, nice long walks, birdwatching from the window, visits upstairs with Vasu's husband, and, of course, meals and treats. TY so much Vasu (and Rajesh) for giving Bodhi such terrific care while I was at work. I felt totally at peace during his stay with you. :)”
“Josie was great!! She accepted our booking extremely last minute (like 15 minutes before dropping off), she was literally a life saver today. Zeus had so much fun in her care today.”
About: I have worked with animals for a long time. I have a degree in biology and psychology for animal training and behavior. I worked previously in a zoo setting, as well as offering dog training classes through a pet store. I’m trained in positive reinforcement techniques. I work from home with a flexible schedule. We have one English bulldog in our home and I would love the opportunity to visit with your pets on an as needed or regular basis. If you have any questions not answered here, please feel free to contact me about my history/experience or any specific needs you may have. Thanks for reading and your interest! I work from home so I’m always looking to get some fresh air and take a break! I can walk dogs or check in during the normal work day. Currently I’m offering dog walks and check ins during the week. I will follow all of your instructions and be sure to send you an update! We are looking for one dog to offer doggy daycare weekly in our home. My husband and I are both WFH and we would love host a dog (must be okay with dogs and kids) during the workweek!
“They were absolutely amazing to communicate with. Our little Meeka would come home so tired from playing with them. They were able to help us very last minute and we couldn’t thank them enough. I was very weary about dropping my little girl off with strangers but after talking with them the night before all my worries went away. I cant tell you how amazing these two and their family are”
“Heinz had SO much fun with Angela and her family! Angela was great to watch him last minute and we were so happy that she did! He is still all puppy, with lots of playful energy, and he was exhausted after a fun day with Angela! So much so he fell asleep on the way home. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for doggie sitting needs!”
“Aurora was easy to communicate and very responsive. She welcomed my dog into her home and made her feel comfortable. By the 3rd day, my pup was running and wagging her tail to get out of the car and to Aurora’s door. Highly recommend.”
About: I have been dog sitting and dog walking for 10 years now. I love it and wouldn't change it for the world. I live in a full fenced yard with a swimming pool! I work from home every day! I can help bath, feed, and give medications. I care for all dogs of any size and any breed. I have a dog myself (she is a 2 year old vizsla) and take her on 5 mile walks daily. I have 3 young boys that love animals and will play and run until they are all tired! I work from home every day and my schedule is very flexible. I can stop in to check on the dog or take them for a walk. I have a fully fenced in yard. If the dog needs crated, I have that as well. They will feel right at home at my house.
“When we became puppy parents in March 2021, we knew it would be challenging to manage our busy work schedules and care for our new puppy the way he deserved. Being in the veterinary field for 20 years made it difficult for me to find anyone I could trust to love and take care of Murph the way we do. When we realized that we needed help a few times a week due to work schedules, I started searching Rover.com and looked specifically for sitters that had repeat clients and excellent reviews. That's how I discovered Courtney and Andrew. When I called Courtney and inquired about her services, she wanted to meet me and meet Murph before she committed to taking him on. After meeting Courtney and her family, I knew Murph would be loved and cared for. We started using Courtney for doggy day care in September and have booked her many times since. Murph loves going to doggy daycare and most importantly, I know that Courtney and her family love our Murph and that means the world to us. Having another family to love Murph and take care of him while we are at work is wonderful. We would recommend Courtney and Andrew to anyone looking for that special family to love your dog the way you do. You won't find anyone better!”
“We are new to the area and this is the first time we have used Anton. My dog Lancelot enjoyed his visit and received a warm welcome and he felt relaxed upon the meet and greet. Right from the start he made Lancelot feel comfortable and he felt right at home. Anton is very responsive and kind and he sends updates with photos. Knowing your pet is cared for makes me enjoy my time away even more! I have already booked another visit with Anton. Thank you Anton!”
“My dog had 2 daycare stays with Julie and when I picked him up the 2nd time, I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come back to me. Being a dog-owner/lover for over 20 years, I could tell within the first 5 minutes when my boy met Julie that he was in the hands of an expert. Her dogs are very well socialized and my boy had a blast! Thank you Julie!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Locust Point
“Taylor is a great walker for my dog! She's punctual, consistent, and he's always super happy to see her. Lots of availability. My dog is apprehensive around people sometimes but he loved her immediately.”
“Margus was awesome with my boys and saved me during a last minute out of town trip. My 2 dogs were very well cared for on their walks I can tell they had a great time through all the pictures and feedback provided. My boys are on the younger side and have very different walking styles so it can cause for some interesting experiences with them and Margus handled them extremely well and I came home to some very happy and tired pups.”
About: I have been in charge of training my dog since 3 months. Have also been in charge of caring for neighbors puppies and dogs for a while now. I do not currently have a job so I have plenty of free time during summer.

Yard with two line 30ft and 50ft and a park right across the street that has a creek if your fur baby likes to swim
About: I have cared for many types of dogs, small, medium, and large, for over 20 years. I believe dogs need to be social, active, and allowed to live as though they are the most important being in one's household. I work from home, so there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor play in a fenced yard, leashed walks/runs to the neighborhood park nearby, and human companionship. Car rides to other parks and nature trails are an option as well. My fenced yard provides a safe environment for free play, roaming, and exploration. My home is also a free-range environment, and conducive to a safe and secure stay.
About: Ive had dogs and cats my entire life - big and small. I currently have 4 cats and love them more than anything.

About: I have had 8 years of experience dog sitting, hosting, walking and staying at others homes for dog sitting. I love dogs and as I think cats are cute, I am allergic and unfortunately cannot watch them. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I love boys or girls! I enjoy going on car rides and checking out new areas for the pups to take a walk. I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have a pittie/lab mix and his name is Bentley. He loves to cuddle, play with other dogs, and is sweet as can be! I currently work full time hybrid. I work from home tuesdays and Friday’s and off on weekends. These are the best days for me to have a dog with me since I’m home. I work a 8-4 job. I care for them by spending time, making sure they are fed, walked, and loved on. I have my dog who enjoys chilling or playing with the dogs depending on what the other dog prefers. Pet care fits with my routine as I am hybrid for work and only live 10 mins away from my job. It is easy for me to run home over lunch to check on the dog I’m watching or if close by take out. I make time to spend with the dog I am watching and that they feel comfortable in my home. While dogs are in my home, I treat them like my own. They are able to sleep with me, be on furniture, etc. I take them for walks to get exercise. With parent permission I make ice cream treats (blueberries & Greek yogurt frozen together) and give them to the dog. I make sure they feel comfortable, are fed and have plenty of water. If a parent would like me to administer meds or give a bath, I am happy to do so!

About: I love all dogs regardless of how hyper or chilled out your pet is. As a student Athlete, I can completely match your dog's energy. I can ensure that you and your pet will look forward to booking with me again. I work in an office in midtown Manhattan from 9-5 Monday-Friday, besides that I'm generally available to give the rest of my evening to other things, considering I have no commitments for my internship outside the office. How I care for other pets completely depends on the animal I'm looking after. Making sure to reciprocate whatever the dog is showing is the priority in most cases.

She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”
