“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!”
“Omg! I could write 10 paragraphs on Angel and her professionalism work. She absolutely is the best so far! Our Bichon poodle loved his boarding stay with Angel. She kept me updated. She sent pics. She messages back in a timely manner. Most importantly she assured me that my pup would be in good hands. I would def recommend Angel to all dog owners. I already booked her again and I promise you this will not be the last!”
“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!”
“Becky always takes care of my dog with as if he is hers. During this visit my dog got sick and she alerted me immediately and was able to triage the issue carefully watching and comforting him. I trust Becky 100% to care for my dog while I’m away and know that he’ll get the attention and love from her like he’d get from me.”
“She has provided us with daily updates/photos of our dog. She replied to our questions promptly. She made sure that our dog feels comfortable at their home.”
“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.”
“I've used Ms Rosa a few times now back to back for vacation and also just for the day when I'm out for a long day. My little Sammy seems to have a great time here, and loves seeing her and her family. He's always happy when I pick him up. I get loads of pics and videos while away.”
“I felt very good about the care I was receiving from videos and pictures. I felt max was in good hands and it showed a very well organised house with a fenced in yard in the back. I will definitely use him again. Thanks again”
“Tiffany was great!! She took Callum with just a few days notice. She had no problem with my special requirements for him. And she helped him feel right at home and took special care to introduce him to her cats. she sent me an update and photos a few times, which I really appreciated. We’ll definitely use Tiffany again!!”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“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.”
“Desire was great! It was clear she loves dogs and gave my pup all the love and attention I would give him. Lots of photos and videos were sent. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Brian was a miracle worker! He convinced my curmudgeonly little dog to get along with a big German Shepherd puppy. I never thought I'd see the day. Bennett was happy when I came to get him and slept well after all of the great interaction with the other dogs. Thanks Brian! ”
About: I've taken care of a few different types of dogs but mostly pitbulls. I love to play, if they have high-energy or snuggle and hang if thats their vibe. It'd be great to take them to a dog park with my pup or just out and about. I have my business in home so I'm close by with a flexible schedule. I have a good amount of time to spend in the morning and most days I don't work to late. I take my dog on long walks in the morning and some times to my parents to run in their yard. Every other weekend we're pretty open so we take our pup to a dog park or go for scenic walk and spend extra time outside if its nice. My dog takes long walks in the neighborhood in the am. During the week or weekend I'll take my dog to my parents yard which isn't far or out to a dog park to socialize. Gets fed at 7:30am, outside at about 9am to 10:30am and fed at 5pm out 9pm. She is crated at night and no longer is able to go up and down stairs safely because she has balance issues.
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I provide a comfortable, attentive environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need while staying with me. We have a safe, comfortable home with a friendly mini dachshund. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while they’re here.
“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!”

“My wife and I were getting married over the weekend and needed last second coverage for our two kitties for four days. We had never used Rover before and Rebekah was very kind to our sweet kitties and sent lovely pictures. They normally are so anxious if we are gone for even one day, but with Rebekah’s visits Rosie and Huckleberry were right back to normal as soon as stepped in the door!”
“Mackenzie is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She looked in on my two cats while I was away. She is very punctual and dependable. She is always quick to respond to my texts, and she let me know how my boys were doing and what she did for them when she was at my home. It was reassuring to get the pictures of them as well. I have already recommended Mackenzie to my sister. I will absolutely utilize her services again in the future!”
“Sally is an amazing pet sitter. She watched our cat Sophia and quickly showed her skills as a hide and seek champion. She had great communication with me throughout the entire booking. She is my go-to sitter who delivers exceptional care! Thanks Sally!”
“Tygger loved Sadie from the first day. Sadie took great care of Tygger, giving her attention and love. I have absolute confidence in Sadie. Tygger wants to know how soon she can come back! (PS - thanks for all the photos and updates.)”
“Sadie is amazing! She took my pet sitting request with short notice and was very easy to work with. She made sure to keep me up to date with detailed messages during her time sitting my kitten and even sent me pictures showing him being comfortable and playful around her. She also went above and beyond and did extra things around the house which I appreciated very much. She’s very respectful and professional. I will definitely request her again for my next pet sitting. Thanks Sadie!”
“Lily did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She communicated with us as requested and kept us updated on how our kitty was doing. Would absolutely recommend her to care for your pet.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since as early as I can remember. Honestly I get along with animals better then people! We've always had a dog and more recently cats. My in-laws ask for my help when they take a trip and I am always happy to help! Currently I am caring for my kids during most of the day but I am open on evenings and weekends as needed! I'll try to fit anything in that I can! I'll always greet the animals first and make sure they are comfortable with me. Then I check for water and food. Once I make sure those are good we are off for play time or walk time!
“Hanna did an excellent job stopping by my house each day to care for my two cats while I was away on a trip. She fed them, cleaned and filled their water bowls, cleaned the litter boxes, disposed of the litter in the garbage can outside, and paid special attention to them each day ❤️. It was awesome that she sent me photos and videos of her petting and playing with them! And it let me know that they were in good hands while I was away. I can’t express my gratitude enough. Thank you, Hanna!”
“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!”
“Heather is absolutely wonderful. She has pet sat twice for my two boys (cats). I trust her so when I leave I never feel worried or the need to check the app which frees my mind to focus on other things. Heather is kind, compassionate, respectful of our home, and most importantly she loves our two boys and takes excellent care of them. When we return the boys are calm, content, sweet as ever, and our home looks great. Heather’s notes, pics and videos are a delight to read and view. We will continue to ask Heather to pet sit whenever we travel. 5 stars!”
“Barbara was wonderful! I've never left my cats before but we had to put my uncle to rest in another State. Barbara is the car whisperer, my cats especially Bob took an instant liking to her. She has experience with both dogs and cats. I won't hesitate again to go out of town, I feel completely comfortable with Barbara caring for my 2 cats. Denise Flathers”
“Sydney was an excellent cat sitter. Super responsive and took great care of my cat. She left the house in perfect condition and even pitched in bringing in a grocery order before a impending snow storm.”
“So grateful I was able to book Beth when last minute travel plans popped up. She was wonderful coming to do drop in visits for my kitties over a very hot and holiday weekend. It really eased my anxiety of being away from them knowing that Beth was checking in on them and giving them some attention! She sent great updates, made sure they had food fresh water and clean boxes and spent time playing with them sending pictures that really made my day! My cats must have loved her as all 3 came out to see her each visit and two of them can be shy - but not this time! Thank you Beth! Will book again (hopefully more in advance) when I am next away:)”
About: I’ve been a dedicated cat lover for years and grew up caring for three cats over a seven-year period—two short-haired and one long-haired. This gave me hands-on experience with different coat types, grooming needs, and personalities. From brushing and basic upkeep to making sure each cat felt comfortable and loved, I understand how to tailor care to each individual feline. My cats were especially adventurous and even enjoyed going on walks with me, so I’m comfortable working with curious, active cats as well as those who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routine to ensure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. Whether your cat needs playtime, gentle grooming, or just a reliable companion, I’ll treat them like my own.
About: I have plenty of hands‑on experience with cats and their everyday needs. From scooping litter boxes to refreshing food and water bowls, I’m comfortable keeping their space clean and cozy. I’m happy to follow any special routines or instructions — whatever helps your feline feel secure and cared for.

“Xada is so happy to go to doggy day care!! She is played out and the end of the day!!! Love the pictures of her play time! So happy to have someone reliable, trustworthy , VERSATILE and FUN!! 🐾🐾❤️”
“Jaydeep was absolutely amazing with our dog! We left our pup with him for 8 days, and he went above and beyond to keep us updated every single day with photos and messages. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our dog was under his care. You can tell Jaydeep truly loves and understands dogs — he treated ours like his own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with him again!”
“She seems to be a wonderful dog sitter, however your company customer service was not the easiest to contact. I tried to cancel my booking de to illness and was unsuccessful.”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I provide a calm, attentive home environment where pets are treated like family and receive plenty of love, playtime, and regular walks. I share my home with cats, so dogs must be comfortable around them. My cats are well-adjusted and do well with dogs, but they may choose to hide around higher-energy pups. They are not comfortable being chased or cornered, so I only accept dogs that are respectful of their space. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes, from small dogs to large breeds, as well as pets with different temperaments. I’m also experienced with special needs pets and administering medications, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine and behavior. I provide consistent supervision and personalized care to ensure a safe, low-stress environment for everyone in my home. You can also expect regular updates with photos, so you always feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. I closely follow each pet’s established routine: feeding, walks, and any special care, to create a familiar, low-stress environment. I provide care in a calm, structured home environment and only accept dogs from one family at a time. This allows for a lower-stress stay and ensures your dog receives my full attention and personalized care. Each dog’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. I provide frequent walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Dogs are not crated unless requested by the owner to maintain their normal routine. For everyone’s safety and comfort, dogs must be house-trained, cat-friendly, and able to coexist respectfully in a home environment. I offer Meet & Greets for all new clients so we can ensure a good fit for everyone. Additionally, my experience working on Rover’s Trust & Safety team has given me a strong understanding of pet behavior, risk awareness, and best practices in providing safe, reliable care.

“Sandra is amazing! My puppy loved staying with her and her sons. Sandra was flexible with timing and provided updates and pictures throughout the day. We’ll definitely be using her whenever we visit the area!”

About: Hi! I have 5 dogs and 4 parakeets myself, I love to craft or just binge watch movies. I’m currently in college, I’ve always loved animals and I lost my job in March, I’m just trying to find better things for myself. Reach out anytime ☺️ I have open availability so pretty much let me know what you’re looking for, if you want me to just stay at yours or even if you just want me to pop in and out from time to time! I have a fenced yard so I’m always watching my dogs, I sit outside with them and just watch them play. I also take them on walks when my parents are able to help since we have alot
About: I’ve taken care of cats for 16+ years, my dog for 7 years and counting, and I briefly worked at Canine Clubhouse for almost 2 months. I am available for dog sitting, doggy daycare, and cat sitting since I am a stay at home mom to my 2 amazing boys and I have 1 dog and 2 cats. At home my cats are grazers and eat when they want to and my dog gets fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food and has to be let outside on a leash because our backyard is not currently fenced in.
“Danette was such a sweetheart and took care of my Dexter last minute when we decided to take a last minute trip to Hershey Park. She is so knowledgeable and patient and treated Dexter like one of her own. Dexter came home worn out from a long day of play which is just what he needed to get his mind off of his “pawrents” being gone for the day. If we lived in the area, I would use her every time!”
“Dawn took wonderful care of our dog while we stopped at Hershey Park in the middle of a road trip. She was a great communicator, responsive, and was able to be flexible to our pick up and drop off times. Our dog had a playmate, some good human snuggles, and a walk. He loved his day at Dawn’s!”
About: 6/2026 UPDATE: After a long hiatus, I am back to dog sitting. It's a long story but my house burned down and it took years to get back into, a car accident, etc. However, I would like to start sitting other dogs again. I have my own dog, a bullmastiff named Bodi, who turned a year old in May 2026. He's 130+ lbs so far. He's a big big baby. He's very well socialized and goes to the dog park frequently, doesn't guard resources, and loves smaller dogs too. He is very gentle with them. Bodi is not neutered so no females in heat. My mother lives with me and she has a household cat. So, while it's ok for dogs to chase a cat, the cat is dog savvy, I cannot watch any dogs that would wish to do actual harm to the cat. I am especially doing this right now so my dog remains accustomed to new dogs entering his home and welcoming them. I'm home all the time so my schedule is open. My mother also lives with me and she is here all the time as well. I have a small fenced yard. I usually take my dog to the dog park or for a walk, or he has a playdate with the neighbor dog. So, while watching your dog, I would take him/her to the dog Park if that's ok with you, or take them for a walk. I do have a hip issue so I can't promise a lengthy walk every single day no matter what, simply because I do have hip issues. However, i would be able to throw a stick around, etc, to ensure your dog gets enough exercise. My dog Bodi is allowed on the furniture and in my bed and your dog would also be welcome to do so. I do give my dog people food treats. If you do not allow people food, please just let me know and I'll respect your wishes. The last thing I want to say is that my dog is my first priority, being that I'm only willing to watch dogs that get along well with my dog. So, I cannot promise any bookings without meeting you and your dog beforehand. I want dog sitting to be a positive experience for him and I do not want Bodi to be uncomfortable in his own home. 8/23/2019 UPDATE: My dog, Stella, passed away in March from osteosarcoma; but, I can't bring myself to remove her info from my profile yet. So, I'm adding this info as an update. Although I don't think I'm ready to get a new dog myself yet--because I still feel as though getting another dog would be trying to replace the irreplaceable-- I feel ok when around other people's dogs & feel as though I am ready to watch dogs again. In fact, being around dogs more, again, may be exactly what I need first, before getting another dog. All of that being said- despite my profile information & posted pictures, I do not have any dogs in my home so I would be able to watch dogs who may not be good with other dogs. I can watch more than 1 dog at a time, provided they are from the same household; but, I generally don't accept dogs from more than one household at a time. I set that rule/limit because I also had my own dog, so I may be willing to watch two dogs from different households...but, I wouldn't watch another dog from another household unless I had permission from both owners (first & foremost). Furthermore, I still would probably only do so only if I was already familiar with both dogs and/or felt very, very confident that neither dog's presence would negatively effect the other dog's experience. As a final note to owners of multiple dogs: Apparently, my thinking and experience(s) are contrary to Rover and or other Rover sitters in regards to watching two dogs from the same household. In my experience, whenever I have watched more than one dog from the same household, they have been easier to care for, and seem more calm and content. Therefore, instead of charging more for the second dog, my charge is $20 for the second dog. Additionally- I'm not sure what exactly my rate is for extended stays, based on my experience(s), extended-stays become easier and less time-intensive the longer the dog stays. As an example, I never expect to sleep much on the first night a dog stays over, simply because even when they're calm, they tend to wake up more often & obviously feel the need to go outside upon wakening. (However, being able to sleep through the night is an added bonus). So, I am willing to adjust my fees for well-behaved dogs staying longer than 3-4 nights. If and whenever that is the case, feel free to ask me about it, if I don't bring it up myself, during the meet n greet, asked prior to booking anything through the site. ___________________________________________________ Hi! I'm a dog person. As a kid, I grew up in a household with many dogs always coming and going so I am very comfortable with dogs. That being said, large and giant breed dogs hold a special place in my heart, and are my favorite. I am a college-educated professional and very trustworthy, and would be happy to meet in advance of taking care of your dog, in order to ease any concerns you may have about leaving a dog with a stranger. And, I could tell you more about myself over the phone, or in person. I also recognize I am new to Rover, and don't or probably won't have have any reviews or customers for a while, so if there's something I can say or do to ease any concerns you may have, feel free to let me know. I have one pet in my home, an 8-year-old female Bullmastiff named Stella, who is very, very laid back. Although I've known Stella her entire life, she came to live with me during the summer of 2017. She always lived with both male and female dogs of all sizes, and in a household with children, and has never displayed any behavioral issues or aggressive behavior. I think Stella gets a little lonely sometimes so she welcomes canine company. Every once in a while & depending on the personalities involved, the most 'aggression' Stella has ever displayed is a warning growl/light snap if she's eating a bully stick (her favorite), or when lying down in her spot on the sofa. It's an appropriate-level response & not aggressive. Actually, I think the only time she's ever even reacted like that, in any way, has been with dogs of her size or larger/taller than her. Even though I love the large dogs- I think Stella prefers dogs smaller than her. She seems to especially love dogs who nag her to play by running & jumping on and around her. Basically, I think she typically requires that the other dog motivate her to play ? (I think she also likes that she can play with the little dogs without having to do much of the running herself!) All in all, I think there's just a certain instant chemistry between certain dogs that make them immediate friends & good playmates. And, the reason I signed up on Rover is for Stella to have an occasional in-home playmate; however, Stella needs to feel comfortable in her own home, which is my first and foremost priority. Regarding house rules and what your pet may be accustomed to, I will adhere to any rules you set for your dog. Stella is allowed on the bed, and has a designated spot on the sofa. Your dog would be welcome on my furniture, if your dog is accustomed to that. However, I also have two ultra-comfortable dog beds (dimensions of each, 36"x 52"). I have exchanged dog-sitting favors with friends and neighbors and watched other dogs in my home for many years, but do not have any prior "professional" dog-sitting experience. MY HOME'S LAYOUT/SENIOR DOGS For anyone with senior dogs, my home is less than ideal, but can also be manageable for senior dogs. My home has a small fenced rear yard, but is a two-story home with the bedrooms located upstairs. There are also approximately 6-8 steps leading to the fenced yard. If your dog has a problem with the steps leading to the yard, I would be willing & able to walk the dog around the house to/from the yard without encountering the steps. I have hardwood flooring throughout my entire home (as well as ceramic and/or porcelain tile in the bathrooms). The stairs are hardwood floor treads with carpeted treads secured on top of the step. Although my stairs are certainly not the steepest stairs I've ever seen in an old home, they're still a bit more narrow and or steep than would be found in a newer home. Overall, my home may not be the best option for some senior dogs, but steps can be avoided as long as the dog is not accustomed to sleeping in the bedroom at night. That being said- I actually slept downstairs on my living room sofa (which has since been replaced) for 4-5 years when my previous dog was no longer able to climb the stairs. So, I'd probably sleep downstairs if I was watching a dog who couldn't climb the steps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P. S. There is a question or checkmark on my Rover profile for me to answer as to whether anyone smokes in the home. The question is a little but unclear, and I marked mine as no smoking in the home. So, I would like to clarify that I am a smoker, but I don't smoke in my home. I'm currently home all the time so I have lots of time to give love and attention. My mother also lives with me so there's two people to get attention from. I have a small fenced in yard, but frequently take my dog for a walk or the dog park, or at least somewhere to get them out of the house on a rainy day (i.e. Bass Pro Shops)
“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!”
“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Kristen and I've been a true animal lover my whole life. I've grown up having animals and I have a deep love for anything furry. I'm a happily married, stay at home mom to a toddler. We recently lost our special needs senior pup of 14 years. We miss him so very much. He was my everything. I truly understand loving your pet like a child and will treat them as such. I have 7 years of experience in veterinary medicine and know how to handle most pet emergencies calmly. References are available. I am looking to start pet care full time, as animals are my passion. I have open availability but can only work with dogs, as I'm allergic to cats. I can do walks, playtime, overnight boarding in my home, or day care. Senior pets are my specialty! I am looking to transition into full time pet care, as I now have the time as a stay at home mom! I am able to provide walks several times a day, and all day attention & love. We live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, where I can walk your pet several times a day. Our senior dog recently passed away and we miss having a pet in the home tremendously, but we aren’t ready to welcome a new personal pet just yet. Animals are welcome to sleep on furniture in my home and cuddle like I would my own animal. My home is their home while they’re with us. We have a 14 month old son, so your pet needs to be comfortable around children. He is good about not touching, but he is a typical toddler and makes noise throughout the day.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since as early as I can remember. Honestly I get along with animals better then people! We've always had a dog and more recently cats. My in-laws ask for my help when they take a trip and I am always happy to help! Currently I am caring for my kids during most of the day but I am open on evenings and weekends as needed! I'll try to fit anything in that I can! I'll always greet the animals first and make sure they are comfortable with me. Then I check for water and food. Once I make sure those are good we are off for play time or walk time!
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands on experience. I’m experienced in caring for dogs and cats of different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I currently have 2 cats of my own so I am very comfortable with cat care, including being able to recognize if a cat may be acting differently than usual. I’m also aware of individual cats boundaries and personalities and respect this. I have also cared for many dogs in my life of all sizes, from beagles to labs to rottweilers. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and am able to provide ample attention. What sets me apart from others is my genuine care for getting to know each individual pet to adapt to their specific needs, rather than treating all pets the same. I fully understand that some pets may be energetic and playful, while others may be shy or prefer a quiet environment. My main goal is to make your pet/pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away in order to give you peace of mind that your pet family is in good hands. I’m currently a law student and work part time and have a flexible schedule, believe it or not! I have intentionally chosen to pursue pet care because I found that I have availability outside of my commitments to work and school. I’m more than happy to communicate prior to bookings to coordinate walks and visits that fit within both of our schedules. I prioritize consistency and reliability for pet care, and will always ensure that I understand your pets needs and routines. I ensure every pets safety and care by following any instructions provided while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. During drop-in visits I will ensure your pets have anything and everything they need, including food and water, attention, and maintaining a clean environment. During dog walks I prioritize maintaining safe handling practices and give your pet my full attention at all times. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect that I would want for my own home.
“Molly is the best!! Right from the start it’s obvious she’s a great human and a dog whisperer. Excellent and professional meet and greet…my pups instantly adored her. My older pup, Aba, was experiencing acute back pain during the meet and greet and it got worse after. Molly gave me awesome advice as she has worked with animals as a vet tech for years. She even let me last minute borrow her Assisi Loop (for pain) which helped so much. This was all out of the dog sitting window I had her booked for which was so kind. While we were out of town she gave excellent and honest updates, picked up the yard, lots of pics, LONG walks for the pups and even discarded some boxes we had sitting around that needed recycling. Above and beyond my pet sitting expectations…as a Rover sitter myself…so impressed!! I highly recommend Molly.”
“Laura has been very caring and flexible to our new pups needs. She’s even shared some training tips with us so we’re all on the same page with making our puppy into the best boy! She’s new to the Harrisburg area so I’ll definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new dog sitter.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My experience with dogs started when I was just 4 years old, when my grandmother raised Cocker Spaniels. Growing up, I was also lucky enough to have dogs and cats of my own, which helped me develop a genuine love and understanding of animals. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I currently have a shelter dog mix of my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pup, keep them happy and comfortable, and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I’m currently looking to pursue this as a full time opportunity. So I am available all days and times that align with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard at my home. I also have one dog that is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs.

I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior. I’m currently in online school for my Medical Assistant (MA) license, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule.

About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, though I avoid working with overly aggressive dogs.

Respecting animals boundaries while providing them with the love and attention they need is of my highest priority and I particularly focus on making sure your animal feels safe and loved.
“after every single walk, my dog was so happy to have spent time with ethan. my dog is a large german shepherd with a lot of energy and ethan will go on runs with him in only thirty minutes that make his whole day. incredibly kind individual and super trustworthy. i had some initial anxiety about someone watching my dog and i am so grateful i chose this host.”
About: I’ve been caring for various sized dogs and cats since I was a small child. From feeding, to going on walks or just providing them company while you’re away I’m bound to be your pets new best friend! I’m available most week days but please try to give me a few hours heads up if you’ll be needing me to avoid schedule conflicts! Each animal requires their own specific care.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child and cats since I was in my 20s (20 years ago). I've had a pet gerbil, mouse, bunny, ferrets, and currently have a ball python. I'm great with animals, they like me. I've volunteered at a dog rescue. My friends all trust me with helping care for their pets and I've overnight sat for friends of friends before. Ive even helped on farms with sheep, goats, pigs, cows, chickens, and horses. I am ok with cleaning up messes if they happen and am used to very energetic dogs and cats with a lot of attitude. I am currently a part time schools bus driver with extra hours available in the middle of the day and evenings off. I'm also moonlighting as a stage hand and Hershey park shuttle driver which takes up some of my weekend adjacent evenings (but have those mornings off) I have a fenced in back yard that my dog (Patty, 9yo) loves. She gets two walks a day and eats fresh refrigerated dog food. My cat Malcolm, 3yo is an indoor/outdoor cat (we rescued him as kitten outside and he is half feral and demands being let outside). We live in a secluded neighborhood that has a cat on every corner so people know to drive slow. He gets dry and wet food (only accepts soupy broth style and we give him a lil cup 3 times a day). The best way to wake up is when they both are on the bed next to me. I will extend this same care to all pets and homes that I sit for/at. I clean them up and any messes they make be they poo, mud or vomit with a hairball in it.
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. I promise to do my best in following your guidelines to protect your space and animals!

About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
