“princess was cared for very well! she even had a companion to keep her company as she is a very active dog. I was given photos every day of her well being and knew she was safe and well taken care of.”
“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.”

“Bobbi was amazing and one of a kind. I have no worries when she watched my baby boy. She kept me updated with photos, open communication, and shared videos throughout the few days which made my mama's heart worry less. I will not hesitate to rebook her. I joked that I wanted to stay because of her welcoming, sweet presence. Absolutely genuinely will rebook Bobbi. Chance will be so happy to come play with her 2 little lovely girls again!”
“Mandeep is so good with the puppies and dogs. I Felt so comfortable leaving my 8 months old puppy with her . He jumped right into her arms .I will definitely recommend her and book her again …”

“Kona loved her stay with Pam and Mike! And we felt so good leaving her with them. Lots of photos and updates while we were away. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Michelle did a fantastic job with my pup. She followed all my little tips for feeding her, went on walks, made sure my dog wasn’t anxious, and made my pup feel at home. Michelle also sent pics of my pup, was very flexible for drill-off and pick-up times, and was very communicative! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Korine and Matt were so kind and thoughtful and took amazing care of Evie! Evie can have a bit of a hard time warming up to people, but she fell in love with them so quickly! They are my first choice when coming back to visit the area! I can't thank them enough!!!!”

They have a gorgeous fenced in back yard for the dogs to run and play in. They truly provided quality care to both of our dogs. Thank you Angela and Ken! :)”
“I just love how much Christina loves Boris! She’s super communicative and he’s always happy when we drop him at her place, which to me is the best sign that he enjoys his time with her, Willow and Meeko!”
“Our dogs had the best time with David and his family! They enjoyed early morning walks and plenty of activity, which I know they loved. David sent daily photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with him again for future vacations—as long as he's willing to take our two dogs back after all the fun they had!”

“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!”
“Korine was BEYOND amazing with my elderly and sick dog. I wish I could give her a million stars. She gave her all of her many daily medicines and walked her at her own (very slow lol) pace. I felt horrible leaving my girl but Korine kept me very comforted with constant check-in messages, pictures, and videos- it was almost as if I was still at home myself. My dog made a great friend in Korine and loved her company very much. 🥰 I could tell she was extremely and genuinely loved and cared for which put my mind and heart at ease being away from her. Thank you!!!”
“Honestly Kari is the best. She’s watched our diabetic cat for several trips now, as well as stayed in our home for 8 nights to watch our dogs and cat. I’m so thankful we found her! The house is always tidy, the animals love her, and her communication is great!”
“So happy I downloaded this app and found Meghan! She did a great job taking care of our kitties and making us feel relaxed and worry free that they were in good hands while on vacation!! She gave very thorough updates and sent lots of pictures. What else can you ask for! ?”
“Becky went above and beyond as always! She not only looked out for our cats, but also kept tabs on the house when we were out of the country. She is very communicative and gives excellent care. We’d definitely use Becky again for future drop-in visits!”
“Vasu has been excellent! She has communicated with us with each visit to assure our pups were well taken care of and sent us up-dates after visit! Thank you for your excellent care!”
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!
“Christine did a fantastic job with my 2 cats! She always gave me great updates after each visit and I felt they were in very good hands. Next time I'm out of town, I would definitely pick Christine to take care of my cats!”
“Samantha genuinely loves animals and it shows, she uses the ‘dog mom voice’, she gets down at my dog’s level to play, and is so careful about health quirks. I would recommend her to anyone with a pet looking for a sitter!”
About: I have been walking/sitting dogs on Rover for five years. I took a year off during the first year of law school, but am hoping to get back into it now! I have had dogs all my life and miss having a furry friend around my apartment here in Carlisle. I have classes in the morning every day, but I have plenty of time in the afternoons to care for pets. I plan on spending my afternoons walking and hanging out with dogs, and I am willing to give the dogs the time and attention they need. When I walk your dog I’ll care for him or her like they’re my own. I am not just doing this for money, but I really do love animals and spending time with them. I have lived in Columbia for over a year, so I know the city and area well and will keep your furry friend safe.
“Dava visited my cat while I was away for awhile, and the first night I was back, the cat sat near the door for almost an hour around the time of the visits, presumably waiting for her. Dava kept her fed, watered, and in contact with other life, and sent a variety of photos.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Middlesex
“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 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.”
“Last minute reservation. Elizabeth was flexible and communicated quickly whenever I messaged her asking how they were as I am an anxious hover dog mom lol! I felt safe leaving my dogs with her and they came home nice and tired after playing all day :)”
“Wonderful experience for us and for Gus The Wonder Dog. We indicated at booking we would drop him off between 9 and 9:30 am and pick him up between 4 and 4:30 pm. We discovered before we dropped him off the first morning that our group would be eating dinner about 3 miles from the sitter's home. To pick him up at 4:30, return him to the B&B, and then drive back to dinner venue would have added about 15 - 18 miles of driving in somewhat heavy traffic. I asked if we could pick him up after dinner”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 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!”
“If you are in the Carlisle, PA, area, please consider using Victoria C. and her family as your sitter. It was only a half a day stay but we were able to do a meet and greet before the actual date. She was very attentive and sent pictures to us showing what he was doing. We could tell by Blaze's body language he was happy with his stay. They walked him several times in their backyard and was able to get him to play ball with them. Next time we are in town we will use them again, we highly recommend them.”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”

About: I have worked in an animal hospital/boarding kennel for the past 5 years.

(Normally off Thursdays and weekends). Currently not doing overnight stays I can care for your pets however you would normally while you’re home with them!

About: Hello, we are the Shapiros and throughout our whole life we have always loved, and owned, dogs. We have two of my own right now Our family lives on 1/2 an acre. The backyard takes up most of that, including a 6' privacy fence. Our floors are carpeted, though if any pet has an accident we are willing to clean it. We are trustworthy, kind, flexible, and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that while you go on a vacation away for the night, or even just have a little "me" time that your pet is safe, and being treated as well as you would treat them if you were home. We have sat for several family members and friends in the past, even as a young teen. Whenever we have little get-togethers with other family and friends we encourage them to bring their pets. They can always roam free through the yard, and if needed a dip in the pool. We can promise that while staying with us, your kiddo will be taken care of as if you never left. It is important to be able to trust someone enough to take care of a family member, and I can promise that I will be able to do the job. I hope to meet some furry-faces soon! We are home all day and on evenings. There are two adults and one senior dog in the home. Potty breaks are done often outside in our fence yard We will care for your pet as our own. We will provide any special care your pets need. We feed all pets separately as to avoid food fights
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 5. My brother was very active in the dog community and often took me with him. I took care of his Rotwilliers whenever he vacationed and had several dogs of my own. I have been a dog sitter for friends and family my whole life and have taken care of dogs for my nanny families in the past! I am currently a part-time nanny, but fit in dog care in my off time! I only work two full days a week, Monday and Thursday, so I have plenty of time for my puppy friends! I love to help out other dog parents and want to make dog care my full-time job. When caring for a dog in another home, I can easily follow instructions you leave for me. I can walk the dogs on a leash, take them to dog parks, or play with them in my own yard. If a dog has to come home with me, I have a large home with plenty of yard for them to run and play in. I have small crates at my own home if needed. I have experience with giving dogs medication due to my own senior dogs and my French bulldog who has had allergy issues.
“Ceara is a reliable dog walker for our ridgeback Oso. We did a meet and greet prior to their first walk and she’s been so good with him ever since. Ceara is our first choice on rover because she is flexible, reliable, she communicates frequently, and because Oso adores her. We’re super grateful to be repeat clients with Ceara and we trust her with our dog.”
