“Bobbi took great care of my Maggie. She treated her like she was one of her own. She spent time with her and loved on her. I felt at ease leaving Maggie with her. I would recommend Bobbi to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog, and I will be rebooking with her.”

Very accommodating with my unpredictable schedule , gave my boy all his meds as requested , Bruno definitely was in good hands! Thank you again !!”
“This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I had my reservations. I was more than pleased with my pet sitter. David was professional, communicative, punctual and very brave to take on my three beasts for a whole weekend. Not only did he care for them better than I do, I was able to leave them having the peace of mind that they were being well cared for in a loving home. David provided regular updates with how they were doing, but not too many to not enjoy my weekend of freedom! I would recommend David to anyone looking for a sitter. 10 out of 10 experience.”

“Thank you for keeping my Bella on such short notice for the Christmas holiday. Bella was happy as ever when she came home and I can tell she enjoyed her time with you!”
“Heather was wonderful! Abbie was well-cared for and very much at home with Heather and her daughter. Lots of fresh air and space on the property, plus other animals for Abbie to see- chickens, ducks, and kittens—she loved it! Heather was very responsive to texts and sent pictures of Abbie’s activities over the course of the weekend. I look forward to using Heather again and highly recommend her.”
“De’Andra was very accommodating for me, as I booked her very last minute. She followed my instructions and advice with how to care for Lewy, and the process was easy. She and her husband were very attentive to Lewy and also remained in touch with me with updates and pictures throughout his stay. I will definitely use them again!”
“Just amazing! I'm a very anxious person, Kathy put me so at ease. She takes wonderful notes of each pet and is very meticulous with how she cares for your pet. She very much treats them as if they where her own. I cant wait for my pup to go back, she can't as well!”
“Michelle is the best, so we decided our dog deserved a vacation too. Rather than get a hotel room that takes dogs, he got to stay with Michelle and Emmy. He loves it there!💕”
“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!”
“That was my first time with Rover and Anton did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog. I would definitely recommend him to take care of your pet. I got daily updates and pictures of Ernie, and he looked like he was well taken care of. Thank you so much for everything Anton!!!!”
“Vasumathy is such a loving and knowledgeable dog sitter. She took care of our golden doodle for the weekend and she was absolutely fabulous about all the aspects of dogcare. She also gave us great insights about dogfood and some great tips. When I met gattu on Sunday afternoon for pick ups, he was calm and content which showed that he was safe and was in good hands. We will definitely use Vasumathy again for our future vacations!”
“Josie and her family were absolutely fantastic. Shw truly cares about the animals she's entrusted with! She remembered the little details about our pup, Penny, and was so attentive to her needs. It was easy to tell Penny was very loved while she was there! We've already rebooked for a future trip. I cannot recommend Josie enough!”
“Dana and Jonathan were amazing with our dog Bear. They arranged a meet and greet before booking the boarding, and were kind and welcoming. They took care of our Bear and sent us pictures and videos while we were away. I can’t speak highly enough of their service and care for our dog!”
“Kayla took great care of my dog! She sent many updates letting me know how my dog was doing and was quick to respond to me. Would for sure recommend her to a friend and book with her again!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful! She sent daily photos and updates of our dog, Penny, making sure to let us know if any concerns came up. She also made sure that Penny felt comfortable and safe since she was nervous when we dropped her off. We'll definitely book with Elizabeth again!”

“Brittany does a great job with all our kitties. They can be a little difficult and shy, but they’re really coming around to her. She is definitely our new go to sitter for our fur babies!”
“I could tell when doing a cat meet-and-greet that my cat crew was going to be in good hands. She was super kind and caring, and we felt great having her pet sit for us. We received really thorough updates and could tell that even our shyest cats were at ease with her. She went above just cat sitting by helping us out with watering our plants during the heat wave and tidying up the plants that had fallen over after a storm! I’d book Becky again and would recommend her to others.”
“This was the first time I’d left my cat for this long. I’m glad Ella was his sitter to take care of and spend time with him. She was consistent and took the extra time and effort to pay attention to him and watch the house. Ella is very reliable and I definitely feel comfortable having her watch Gordon again if I go on another longer trip.”
“Isabella was absolutely phenomenal. She was very friendly, timely, and took great care of our cat during a week long trip. I would highly recommend contacting her for your pet needs!!”
“Taylor took wonderful care of our elder cat this week. She also watered my plants and brought in my mail. She communicated with me every day.. She washed all the cats dishes and left my kitchen spotless. She’s very responsible and I’ll be booking her again.”
“Awesome as always and Sebastian likes Marlaina! Rover: I am completely fine with Marlaina not staying the full 30 minutes, as she gives Sebastian his SubQ fluids, and it does not take 30 minutes to administer. Thank you!”
“Kasandra gave great care to my 2 cats during her visit each day. She took great pics of both cats to share with me daily and amazed me that my tuxedo cat came out to her each day since she usually hides from new visitors. I am pleased overall and would choose her again for cat care.”
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.
“Margaret went above and beyond watching Lawson. She’s a great communicator and I always enjoy the updates with the pictures. I knew he was always in good hands!”
“Jessica was great with my feline friend, Lawson! She provided great detailed updates and was a very attentive communicator. 10/10 would recommend and use again!”
“Chantel is a lovely human who took exceptional care of my cats while I was away. She takes the responsibility very seriously and paid close attention to details about each of the girls. I loved getting pictures and updates each day I was away. It was comforting to know they were getting lots of love and attention. I will work with Chentel again because I trust her with my furry family.”
“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!”
“Reactive dog owners rejoice! Nina was so amazing and patient with our reactive boy, Murph. He takes a little bit to warm up to people and is dog/stranger reactive, so I needed someone who has experience with that. She is very patient and respectful of Murph’s boundaries. She’s really good at reading dog behavior and has training experience too! I am so thankful for Nina and look forward to booking her again!”

“This family was super communicative and sent pictures of my pup. He came home happy and tired from playing with their dog and their son will certainly be using them again.”
“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.”
“She was amazing. My older girl has bad anxiety leaving me but she loved being with Kayla! And she was so amazing with my puppy whos still potty training and testing boundaries. In every single photo she sent they looked so happy. She was patient and kind. Shes super chill and easy to talk to / book with and she always offering a solution to fit my needs for a sitter no matter how last minute. I would 110% recommend her to anyone who needs their pups watched!!”
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!
“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!”
“Not sure where to start here, We had Kayla stay at our house just during the day to watch my boyfriend's Service Dog Colt. We were extremely nervous because he has never been cared for by anyone other than us and she was absolutely amazing. She made what would have been a stressful situation a breeze. Kayla was so incredibly kind, sweet and professional. She was on time every morning and sent updates throughout the day. We will surely be booking her for next year.”
“Once again, I am so grateful for the kind care provided to our dog (with short notice), by Courtney and Andrew N. Our dog came home so happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Courtney & Andrew!”
“I had to make a last minute trip and was worried about my girl being alone since I wasn’t optimistic there would be anyone to take her as a last minute. Fortunately, Jaideep responded back quickly and said he’d take care of her. The communication was great and he sent many pictures and updates throughout the day. My Luna looked like she was having a blast and looked calm. I will definitely be asking for Jaideep’s help with Luna again in the future.”
“Josie was a great choice for our 2 standard poodles and us. She provided a safe, stimulating and relaxed space for them to adjust their 8 hour stay. Josie was a great communicator and adjusted to our last minute requests.”
“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’ve had dogs my whole life, specifically German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and strong personalities. I’ve been around all kinds of dogs, from highly protective working dogs to total goofballs, and I know every dog has their own personality and needs. I also have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, so I’m used to handling different routines, energy levels, and temperaments. I currently work part-time and am a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to work with specific routines since I know consistency is important for pets. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that seriously. I always try to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and reduce stress. I pay close attention to behavior, energy, and any changes that seem off, and I’ll keep you updated so you feel informed while you’re away.
About: Hi and thanks for stopping by! I'm a huge softie for all kinds of animals, having grown up with multiple dogs, cats, and rabbits in the house at all times. In my years of pet sitting for various friends, neighbors, and relatives, I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and horses (and the occasional few guppies:)). Working at a stable for four years in high school also gave me valuable experience in the care and handling of 20+ large animals at a time. I also have experience giving various oral and injected medications, so if your pet has any medical needs, I am comfortable administering them according to your instructions! I moved this year and sadly had to leave my furry friends with family since we cannot have pets in the place we are renting, so getting to take care of your animals would actually be so special to me! Spending time with some furry friends would absolutely make my day :) Whether it's play time, long walks, snuggles, or simply keeping them company, I strive to treat each and every pet as one of my own! As an online college student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and can work around your various needs. I can usually be available at short notice and spend considerable time with your furry friends or do frequent drop-in visits if needed! I am a very attentive and caring person, so I will respect your home and love your pets as if they are my own and follow all instructions to the very best of my ability!
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.
“Wonderful! Great communication! Rachel provided details and photos of her time with my dog. She followed everything requested while following cues from my pet. Will book again!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have relied on me for various pet needs. From caring for horses, cats, and dogs, I am well versed in the pet care department. Living in the borough of Mechanicsburg I am able to get to your furry friend very quickly to ease your mind when you are away! My pets are a very big part of my life and I care for all pets like they are my own. Rest be assured, your pets are in great hands!
About: Ever since I was a very little girl, animals have been the object of my attention. My parents still love to tell stories about how as soon as I could walk, as little as 2, I would walk into pet shops and ask to hold snakes and other “scary” animals. I love them all and have had the luxury of either owning or taking care of every kind of pet. I truly mean every— dogs, cats, fish, turtles, lizards, birds (ducks, rescues, etc), tarantulas, frogs, newts, axolotls, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, moles, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and I’m sure I’m missing some. I’ve also taken care of an extensive array of bugs. Just ask! While I mainly and primarily care for furry friends— I have lots of experience with other pets. :^) I’m currently only working with Rover and with Wag Caregiver, so I am always at home! I spend all of my time at home with other’s people pets. I am almost exclusively at home. I leave to go to the store and run errands, but otherwise, I’m a complete home body. I have a fenced in yard, paired with a very safe and pet friendly neighborhood to walk your dogs. Aside from that, my home is perfectly equipped for your furry (or maybe not so furry!) companions. I work from home as a stay at home parent, so I am always with your loved one(s) and they have my undivided attention and love!
About: I have been caring for dogs since 2019, working with pets of various breeds, sizes, and ages. Over the years, I have provided reliable and attentive care for pets belonging to family members and close family friends. Throughout this I have gained hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, and playtime. I enjoy staying active and going on walks, especially with a four-legged friend by my side! As a current law student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I’m also available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I have an open backyard at home that provides space for safe outdoor time. However, I’m also happy and prefer to provide care in your home, ensuring your pet stays in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, bunnies,guinea pigs and cats. I have always wanted to care for animals as my career since I was little.

My schedule is flexible around you and your pet needs. I will always put the animals safety first. I will be aware of my surroundings and communicate with the pet owner daily via text and pictures.
About: There has always been a pet in the home since childhood, I’ve watched and taken care of 5 personally owned dogs from puppyhood to adulthood! I have babysat my aunts cat Tammy for a few months now, and I have taken care of my own dog Maestro when my parents are on vacation, or need an extra pick-me-up. I also have been volunteering at Humane Society of Harrisburg for about a few months now! I have always had a huge heart towards animals of all personalities and sizes. I’ve worked with nervous big dogs, to crazy little puppies! I would be more than willing to meet your amazing animal someday! 😊💕 I have a car available at all times, so I am easily able to provide as much time and energy as your animal needs. I also do not have a typical job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I will be super respectful of your space and keep notes about certain things your animal needs, and provide spectacular feedback on how your animal is feeling, how the day went, overall what happened during my service! I am a wonderful listener and I learn extremely quickly.
About: Ever since I was born, there has always been a cat or dog in my life. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet like family. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and building a special bond with them so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently searching for a full-time job, so my schedule is very flexible. In the meantime, I’ll be able to give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions you provide. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and doing well.
About: I'm most experienced with dogs and cats. That said, I am willing to look after any pet! I've always had dogs of my own, and I previously volunteered at a shelter which gave me added experience walking dogs of many breeds, ages, and temperaments. I am also familiar with giving medications (pills/capsules, eye ointments), crating, automatic feeders, and self-cleaning litter robots. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I am able to accommodate both weekday and weekend requests at nearly any time. Your pets, your home, your rules! The clearer instructions the better, and please be open to answer questions where needed.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. For the last 4 years i’ve worked in boarding facility as a pet care specialist, dog trainer and behavioral manager. My schedule is very flexible to meet the needs for you and your pet(s). I am happy let your pet(s) out as frequently as needed and provide them good company while you are away. I have 4 years of professional pet care experience and can handle a variety of situations. I am happy to keep your pet safe no matter what!
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!
