“This was the best pet sitting experience we could have hoped for! It is our first time using Rover and Laurie was an absolute delight. She treated Sadie as if she were her own and updated us daily with photos. We will 100% recommend and use her again ! 10/10!”
“Angeline and Dave are simply the best. They watched our two dogs, Jack & Marley (11 yrs and 18 months) for 10 days. Everyday, we received a msg as to how the dogs were doing and lots of pictures of Jack & Marley. Awesomeness right?! They kept with the dogs normal schedule including walks, snacks and Jacks antibiotic he had to take. Incredibly professional experience. Jack & Marley can’t wait to go back to hang with Angeline, Dave and their Benson!”
“They did a wonderful job taking care of our 6 month old puppy, Daisy. Lots of pictures throughout the day. Time outside and at a dog park to release some in of her puppy energy. She was a very happy and tired puppy after her day-long visit.”
“Heather is a wonderful sitter! I’m busy with work and graduate school and she is always very accommodating with my shifting plans. I love that I am able to have her and her husband drop off and pick up my dog from my home if I need to! Unfortunately I missed my flight home on the last day of the boarding and Heather was extremely helpful with keeping my dog another night and allowing me to pick my dog up very early in the morning when I was finally able to get a flight home! I am so thankful I found such a good sitter to take care of my baby. She’s also great on updating you about your pets so you always have peace of mind that they are being taken care of!”
“Mike is amazing! Nugget stayed with him for that huge snowstorm while I escaped to some warmth. He shoveled the back yard snow at his place into a wonderful, whimsical playground for Nugget and her new pals. Then, he sent fun and playful videos of all the pups frolicking over, around, and through those tunnels! I hope to send Nugget to Mike many times in the future.”
“Mary was great for our last minute trip and flexible with scheduling, which was much appreciated. I love that our boy got tons of outside time while we were away. It was exactly what he needed. She provided pictures and updates daily. Our boy came home happy and tired.”
“Lindsey and her entire family are great! My high energy dog loved running around the yard and playing with all of his new friends. He was definitely well cared for and he had so much fun on his “vacation.” He can’t wait to come visit everyone again!”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Nasiya is a lovely person and an avid dog lover! My young, active dog was with her nearly 3 weeks and I never had a moment of concern. I even felt a little guilty taking my Callie home because she was so happy with Nasiya and her dog Coco. Nasiya sent us lots of updates and I will not hesitate to contact her the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Wendy was amazing! Franco had such a great time. Wendy’s house is like a resort for pups! She keeps you in the loop with updates, pictures and videos. 100/100 would DEFINITELY recommend!!!”
“I had to leave town right as a big storm hit, and Maria and Tony still welcomed my Pomeranian, Kobe, for the week—even though they lost power for most of it! They kept me updated with messages and photos, and I’m so grateful for the love and care they gave my little guy. He looked happy and seemed to have a blast making new furry friends in their big yard. I was worried he wasn’t going to want to come home! I will definitely use them again.”
“Rae and her family really worked hard to make my anxious Bichon, Hope feel at ease.. Hope came from neglect and abuse the first 5 months of her life before we adopted her. She gets anxious with anyone above her trying to pet her, but after a day, her anxieties were minimized and she felt more at home! I appreciate all your love and support with Hope!”
About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish.

“We had great experience with Jena and Nick. Dexter received lots of love, personal attention, playtime, daily walks. Their pet Sebastian was a very nice dog and became great buddy of Dexter in a short time. They have a very nice and clean fenced backyard too. Dexter really enjoyed his time with Jena, Nick and Sebastian… We really appreciate their effort in making sure Dexter felt it at home…Thank you Jane, Nick and Sebastian for being so lovely to Dexter.”
“Stacey did great with our Belle! Her home and surrounding areas were just what we wanted for our dog when we were away. With an extended time away, possible changes in travel because of weather and being the crazy pet parents we are, Stacy was flexible, easy going and sent us sweet pictures of Belle! We would highly recommend and hope to work with her again.”

“We had two dogs stay with Milissa for 4.5 days. This was our first time boarding them anywhere so we weren’t sure what to expect. We had an initial visit to introduce our dogs and discuss arrangements before the scheduled date. Everything was great! She sent daily photos, videos, and updates on how things were going. One of our dogs is an escape artist and she adapted to the challenges and handled it very well. Our dogs were well-cared for and seemed to have a blast with the other dogs. She has a big beautiful fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. We had open communication through the stay and any concerns or questions were addressed quickly. Milissa made our first boarding experience smooth and easy for us and put our minds at ease.”
“Cheryl provided loving, thorough care to our spoiled 4 year old shishon! She sent pictures and videos and was very easy to coordinate with throughout the process. It definitely gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing he was in a safe, cuddly environment!”

“Cassandra was WONDERFUL! My cats were happy when I got home, but I could tell that they were lovingly cared for. Cassandra sent me pictures every day and messaged me to see if there was anything else that she could do for me. The house was immaculate when I came home and the sheets were washed. I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely caring young lady!”

About: I am a single mom with 20 year old daughter who is away at college. I have a golden retriever who loves to have dog friends visit. Your pet will get the same TLC as my own dog. They will be a part of our family while they are with us. I have a fenced in yard, making it easy for your pet to be safe and get some exercise too. I have been watching dogs in my home for about 25 years. I work from home Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and I am gone on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from about 10-4, so I am almost always home aside from the occasional errands. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I can always run home in the middle of the day if a potty break is needed. Accidents are ok too. Mine has had a few over the years. Your dog will never be in trouble if this happens. You won’t have to worry about your dogs when they are with me. They will be treated like family. I work from home, so your pets will rarely be left alone. When they are, it is just for brief periods for when I running errands. I have a fenced in yard and w very friendly fur baby of my own. I can let them out frequently and always supervise outside even though my yard is fenced. I am able to feed them if they are here during meal time. I will just need to know if your dog is food possessive so I can make sure they eat separately from my dog. Unfortunately I can’t leave your dogs food down throughout the day because my dog will eat it.

We've moved too far away now, but she was so great to help us with last minute doggy daycare when we had a day of house showings before our move. We will miss her. She pampers the pets that stay with her. It's obvious that they become part of her extended family. You will not regret booking Wendy, I promise.”

“Lean and Sean are wonderful! We have an 11 month old English Bulldog puppy and she has never spent a night away from us since we got her, so we were very nervous about how she would do when we needed to have her with someone else for almost 4 days. Leah and Sean took excellent care of our girl, who enjoyed tons of loving attention, snuggles, and a wonderful family atmosphere. They are near a park, so walks and outside time were close by as well. When we picked her up, she was happy and almost didn’t want to go! We would definitely recommend Leah to friends and we plan on future visits soon!”

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. For the past 5 years, I decided what better job to have than pet care! I started Petsitting for others and love it. I treat pets like they are my own. Although I do love spoiling pets by playing with them and giving them lots of attention, I also abide by the owner’s rules. I love to walk dogs. I also have experience giving dogs medication. Over the past 5 years, I’ve become a sitter for cats as well and I am very comfortable with them. Currently, my schedule is flexible. I am unable to board dogs but I can travel to your home and provide the care that you need. I can provide care in the client’s home.I am very trustworthy and will be very respectful of your home and pets while I am there.

About: I treat the dogs like my own. I have had dogs growing up as a child. I also have a sheltie dog she loves to play with tennis 🎾 I love taking care of dogs most of my life.

About: I’ve had a lifetime of caring for a wide range of animals. Particularly dogs and horses but all creatures welcome. Good with body language and attentive to animals needs. I’m an avid hiker and love taking dogs for walks. 💕 I work part time from home and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. This flexibility lends itself well to constant care required by puppies, the elderly and other special souls. I rarely host multiple families of dogs at one time (might be some overlap on pickup/drop off days) and prefer to focus on a quality experience for the dog over multiple bookings. If you make a request and I tell you it’s not a good fit at this time, it’s because I have carefully considered the safety and happiness of another client. Your pet will not be left unattended for extended periods of time during the day. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to find quality pet care and pride myself on being dependable and responsive. I take the responsibility of caring for your animal seriously. I live in a rural area on a road with very little traffic. We have two horses, chickens and two dogs on our 14 acre property. I do not have a fenced area and use tie outs for porch lounging and hand walking for potty runs. Your pet will have access to the main floor of my house (no stairs) including furniture (if allowed). The ability to change the floor plan also allows to separate animals if beneficial.
“Leah did such a great job with our five month-old puppy, which is a tall order because he has A LOT of energy! She even took some time to work with him on a few tricks. I would highly recommend Leah as she is reliable, conscientious and very patient.”

She gives them both her undivided attention, and gives us detailed reports with amazing photos! Thank you Gwynn!”

My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with a yellow Labrador, so dogs have always held a special place in my heart.

Over the years, I have cared for many pets with special medical needs, including administering oral medications and insulin injections to both dogs and cats. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I will provide the same level of care and patience I would want for my own pets.

About: Hello! My name is Izzy, I’m 21 years old, and I’m going into my senior year at Penn State while working at Rita’s Italian Ice in Cranberry Twp. I’m so excited to start my Rover journey! I’ve grown up with having dogs in my household all my life, from a 4 1/2 lb. Chihuahua to a chunky Toy Fox Terrier to a mighty but loving Rottweiler-Black Lab mix. I’ve also been tasked with taking care of my neighbor’s and friend’s dogs over the years, whether that be stopping over to give them food, bathroom breaks, and cuddles, or even staying overnight over the span of a week so the dog(s) don’t feel alone. Therefore, I’m hoping to be the best fit for you, too! Outside of dogs, I love to be in our pool when the weather is warm and being able to do so with my family, pick up new crafting hobbies like scrapbooking or embroidery, and go to concerts of a variety of artists (43 concerts and counting!), most recently being 5 Seconds of Summer. I can’t wait to start this opportunity and hopefully bring some relief to someone in need of dog-helping needs! I’m currently working part-time at Rita’s Italian Ice in Cranberry Twp., and the schedule always fluctuates between 4-6 hour shifts. I don’t have set days, but I’m typically scheduled one weekday and the Friday-Sundays, However, I have plenty of time outside of those shifts and always accommodate around them to ensure that all the dog’s needs are met. At home, I assist in letting our dogs play in our fenced-in backyard, giving them treats when they’ve behaved or done a trick we’ve taught them (sit and “paw”), taking them on neighborhood walks when it’s nice outside, assuring that their food and water are filled, and playing with them to get their zoomies out before everyone starts winding down for the night. Outside of my home, if there is not a fenced-in backyard, I’ve taken the dog(s) outside on leashes for bathroom purposes, as well as do all actions mentioned above from what I do at home. Some houses have also had puppy pads when necessary, and I always take appropriate measures to clean up any messes and re-lay down a fresh puppy pad.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life. I am very good with animals! I am happy to feed and play with your pet! I also have experience caring for disabled and aging pets and am able to administer any needed medication! I currently work on the week days only. So my weekends are completely free to play and take care of your pet! I will be sure to give them lots of love and attention! I will treat your pet like my own and ensure their happiness and safety! I also follow any rules, expectations, or instructions you have given me!

I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company! I’m very accommodating if your dog needs extra love! I am always home so they won’t ever be left alone for long periods of time.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and recently completed a veterinary assistant program through my school’s career and technical center, as well as volunteered at the local animal shelter. Through my training, I’ve learned safe animal handling, recognizing signs of illness, administering basic care, maintaining cleanliness, and keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Through my veterinary assistant training, I’ve learned safe handling techniques and how to recognize when a pet may not be feeling well. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident they’re receiving loving, dependable care.

“They did a wonderful job taking care of our 6 month old puppy, Daisy. Lots of pictures throughout the day. Time outside and at a dog park to release some in of her puppy energy. She was a very happy and tired puppy after her day-long visit.”
“Heather is a wonderful sitter! I’m busy with work and graduate school and she is always very accommodating with my shifting plans. I love that I am able to have her and her husband drop off and pick up my dog from my home if I need to! Unfortunately I missed my flight home on the last day of the boarding and Heather was extremely helpful with keeping my dog another night and allowing me to pick my dog up very early in the morning when I was finally able to get a flight home! I am so thankful I found such a good sitter to take care of my baby. She’s also great on updating you about your pets so you always have peace of mind that they are being taken care of!”
“Mike is amazing! Nugget stayed with him for that huge snowstorm while I escaped to some warmth. He shoveled the back yard snow at his place into a wonderful, whimsical playground for Nugget and her new pals. Then, he sent fun and playful videos of all the pups frolicking over, around, and through those tunnels! I hope to send Nugget to Mike many times in the future.”
“Mary was great for our last minute trip and flexible with scheduling, which was much appreciated. I love that our boy got tons of outside time while we were away. It was exactly what he needed. She provided pictures and updates daily. Our boy came home happy and tired.”
“Lindsey and her entire family are great! My high energy dog loved running around the yard and playing with all of his new friends. He was definitely well cared for and he had so much fun on his “vacation.” He can’t wait to come visit everyone again!”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Wendy was amazing! Franco had such a great time. Wendy’s house is like a resort for pups! She keeps you in the loop with updates, pictures and videos. 100/100 would DEFINITELY recommend!!!”
“Rae and her family really worked hard to make my anxious Bichon, Hope feel at ease.. Hope came from neglect and abuse the first 5 months of her life before we adopted her. She gets anxious with anyone above her trying to pet her, but after a day, her anxieties were minimized and she felt more at home! I appreciate all your love and support with Hope!”
About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish. I'm all about making sure our babies are happy and healthy and living the best life we can provide to them. After doing much research and lots of experience, I've learned a lot about a dog's language and how to respect them. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and will love on them just the same. I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! Rover is my full time job right now so I’m available to take care of your pup throughout the day as need be, whether that’s just hanging out or a walk or potty break, etc. I have a large fenced in yard and our 2 dogs will gladly keep your pup company and enjoy running around. I can easily crate if need be as well.
“Stacey did great with our Belle! Her home and surrounding areas were just what we wanted for our dog when we were away. With an extended time away, possible changes in travel because of weather and being the crazy pet parents we are, Stacy was flexible, easy going and sent us sweet pictures of Belle! We would highly recommend and hope to work with her again.”
About: I have been dog sitting/own dogs since the age of 16. I am a huge animal lover and treat all animals as if they’re like a child. Love them all! I currently work a corporate job, so I would be at work the hours of 8-5. I work a hybrid schedule so I am home 2/5 days all day as well. It is flexible and I can work around schedules as well. I am off the weekends as well! I have a ton of grass around my apartment, plenty of toys. And plenty of love to offer to all animals! I also am a available to go to the house to watch as well!
“Michelle and Sami were amazing!! They took great care of our very active Weimeraner puppy and it was obvious that he was showered with affection by their family. They're very experienced in training/caring for different breeds, and their Goldens were great pals to our dog. We are so grateful for their help and care!”
About: While volunteering for dog rescue for 6+ years, I’ve had the opportunity to foster over 160 dogs of all ages, administer just about every type of medication, and vaccinate 1000’s of dogs traveling to foster and adopter homes I do not work for anyone else. My time will be fully dedicated to your pet along with my own and with as much love I have 3 friendly dogs at home. I have the ability to keep dogs separately in open or closed rooms. Crates or not crated. Once comfortable, they can spend time on the couch and playtime with other dogs with your approval.
“Absolutely phenomenal service all around. Jeannine is extremely friendly and I will definitely be using her again. She worked with my schedule, took pictures and constantly kept me updated with my dog to let me know how she was doing. Bailey absolutely loved her stay and I don’t even think she realized I was gone! She loved the other dogs and was very well looked after.”
“Lindsay and her family were so sweet and accommodating. They went out of their way to learn about my puppy and sent updates. They were there when I needed them. Thank you!”
“I highly recommend Brittany! She took great care of our one year Samoyed for a weekend away. He had a lot of fun playing with her two dogs, and returned home a very happy and tired dog. We were provided pictures and updates of our dog during his stay. Brittany is quick to respond to stay requests, and made drop-off and pick-up very easy.”
“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats since 1985 and was on a K9 Search and Rescue team for 18+ years so I have worked with all types of dogs and have a lot of experience with training. I currently work outside the home M-F 9-5 but can work from home upon request. Weekends I am home the majority of the time and spend most of my time hanging out with my own dogs (two labs) I have hosted a variety of dogs in my home including corgis, labs, goldens, frenchies, pitties, mals, and other assorted breeds. I treat everyone's pets just like my own - lots of treats, snuggles, couch naps, and of course sleeping on the bed if they want. Both of my labs are extremely friendly and love pretty much all dogs, but I do have experience sitting some dogs who preferred to be separate from my boys via either baby gates or kennels (depending on what the dog is comfortable with). I have a large fenced in backyard and a smaller fenced in front yard. The backyard has a doggie door that allows the dogs to go in and out at will, although when I am not home, I do not give any dogs access to the yard (even my own dogs as a safety issue).
