Personalized care for your dog or cat - Penllyn
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Penllyn
“Hiring Dana to dogsit Buster was the best decision. We usually board him at the vet, but wanted a change so that he would have a more social, active and fun experience. Dana was thoughtful, caring, communicative and flexible throughout the entire process (from booking to pickup). She took excellent care of Buster with specific attention to our requests. She sent us many wonderful photos of his daily activities, which included several nature and park walks. Buster had his own little vacation exploring new places while we enjoyed ours in complete peace of mind. We happily give Dana the highest praise and rating with respect to our experience with her. She is a true animal lover and a nice person.”
“Michael and Loraine took great care of Jax, our Bichpoo. You can tell they have had dogs and are true dog lovers. Jax took to them right away, thanks to their loving manner and welcoming warmth. We’re already booked for our next trip!”
“Kathleen was great taking care of my Smokey. Especially when he was neutered a week prior and needed to wear this big cone around his neck. Smokey takes medication to control seizures and needs to be hand fed. Kathleen was sooo involved and gave Smokey her full attention. Thank you so much Kathleen.”
“Phenomenal dog sitter. I boarded my two dogs with Jeffrey for Christmas week. He provided updates and pictures each day in a consistent and clear manner. He took great care of my dogs, and my dogs always have fun with Jeffrey's dog, Lily. I will continue to hire Jeffrey as my main dog sitter for as long as possible.”
“Lynda took very good care of my two dogs who can be a handful, especially one of them. She kept me informed and I could see that they were comfortable and made themselves at home by taking over the sofa as their spot.”
“Shamira takes such wonderful care of my elderly dog. Nina is blind and has a lot of special needs — diapers, meds, eyedrops! Shamira handles it all in stride. And she makes sure to shower Nina with attention and give her plenty of the things she likes such as spending time in the sun.”
“Ryan watched our girl for 12 days while we were away. We appreciated the daily pictures he sent us and that he let us know how she was doing. Our girl must have been nervous because she had accidents while we were away, which is unlike her. She wore her reusable diapers from then on, which was less than ideal. However, given the circumstances it’s understandable, and she appeared safe, which is what mattered most to us while we were away.”
“Ryan B was a great sitter! He took good care of my dog and sent adorable messages and photos throughout my vacation. I would definitely recommend as a sitter as the children were great with my dog also giving him lots of pets and even grooming him one day. Definitely a sitter to choose!”
“Yuiko has watched my dog Jasper 3 times now, this last time being for three weeks and I feel so confident leaving him with her! She sends photos at least twice per day and it is easy to tell he is having a great time and being well cared for :) couldn’t be happier!”
“Allison and the girls took such great care of Cookie! As first time Rover users, Allison was patient with my husband and provided regular check-ins, updates and pictures! It was clear Cookie had a nice time and was much less stressed than when we typically board her. We look forward to booking again with Allison and Kevin in the future!”
“Mary was great! We especially enjoyed all of the pictures she sent while we were away, the communication was wonderful. We will definitely be booking with Mary again.”
“Lauren and family took great care of my little girl. She is a rambunctious German shepherd and they took to her well. Sent me updates/pics, and were very responsive when I sent a message. Would absolutely repeat.”
“Allan and Anne Marie were fantastic! Very flexible and responsive. Their home is clean and safe, and their fenced-in backyard is perfect for the dogs to play! They are clearly very experienced and were friendly and professional. Thanks for taking good care of our pup!”
“Dana was great. My puppy Kona loved her weekend with her. Kona is a very active dog and loved her walks with Dana and playing in the yard. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures of Kina during her stay. I highly recommend booking with Dana.”
“It is clear how much Alan & Darlene love dogs. Kelce had a great experience with them. They sent photos to let us know just how much fun and action that Kelce was involved in. I would highly recommend them as a dog sitter!”
“I was extremely pleased. The pups seemed to have loved their stay.They were bright and cheerful when I picked them up. Olive was wonderful, professional and very conscientious! The pups seemed very happy being able to play outdoors in the secure and extra large yard.It was suited perfectly. We are ready to book their next stay!”
“Maranda was awesome with our dog! She was very accommodating and shared plenty of pictures, details, and stories throughout Taco's stay. Would gladly book with her again.”
“Jennifer and her family were the perfect fit for our 2yo dachshund, Linguine. This was our first time being away from him for a week and she was communicative every day with photos and updates. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Christopher takes wonderful care of our cats! He is kind and patient, even with the shy one. After a few days, they both greet him during his visits. We love getting the pictures showing how happy they are when we are away!”
“Dominique was FANTASTIC with Bowie! She was able to accommodate our last minute request, she set up a meet and greet, and sent lots of photos and updates. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Emma is so friendly and a great cat sitter! She was very through in asking about their care and treated them well. My cats can be rambunctious but she did a good job at separating them for feedings and playing with them. She also sent great update photos with the rover cards throughout their care. Would highly recommend!”
“McKayla was an outstanding in home pet sitter for my cats! She made me feel completely at ease during my trip with her daily check ins which included pics of everybody looking content in her care. Will be utilizing her services again and again!”
About: I had 3 dogs of my own over the years. I have done dog sitting, walking, and driving to daycare and grooming for my neighbors and friends. I’m currently working part-time but I am an empty nester so I have a very flexible schedule to play and take care of your pets. I will follow the owner’s instructions on how they would like me to care for their pet while in their home and outside their home.
“Victoria was a fantastic cat sitter. She was communicative, punctual and ensured my cats were happy and healthy in my absence. Victoria cared for my cats as if they were her own, and I am very appreciative!”
About: I have taken care and have owned cats my whole life. Working in professional settings I have had the privilege of taking care of other people’s cats as well, of all ages, following med care and dietary restrictions
About: I've been around cats for most of my life and understand that no two are alike. Some are playful and social, while others prefer their space - and I enjoy getting to know each cat's unique personality so I can care for them in the way they're most comfortable. I've cared for my own cats as well as those of friends and family, handling everything from feeding and fresh water to litter box maintenance, playtime, medication (if needed), and providing companionship while their owners are away. Whether your cat wants to chase a toy, curl up beside someone, or simply have a familiar routine maintained, I'm happy to follow their lead. As someone who is dependable, detail-oriented, and organized in my professional career, I bring that same level of care into every visit. I'll carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I also offer a complimentary 20–30 minute meet-and-greet before your first booking so we can get to know each other, review your cat's routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before your trip.
“Amy is the best! Great communication and she helped us with a few house issues while we were away too. We felt great knowing our fur baby was in good hands. We’ll definitely book Amy again!!!!”
“I really appreciate Si yeon for coming through for me last minute. She made feel at ease in taking care of my fur babies. They were just as comfortable being home with Si yeon as they are with me.”
“We reached out to Kim to babysit our fur babies and fish for a quick trip. She was very professional and communicated well. Met with us beforehand asked good questions and took great care of our pets! Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“Meghan was really flexible and took our booking last minute. She was able to administer our cats medication without difficulty and was very communicative. You can definitely rely on her to take care of your pets. When the snow came, she still made it out to care for them. She is great!”
“Sarah is amazing! She is incredibly thorough, patient, and professional. She asked thoughtful questions about my cat that even I hadn’t thought of, and my cat was completely calm and comfortable around her. She also took amazing photos of my baby and was very attentive to everything happening in the house. She noticed and communicated anything that might need my attention, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciate how caring, observant, and responsible she is. I highly recommend Sarah!”
“Lana was amazing and attentive and took great care of our beloved kitty! She was always timely (important because he is food obsessed and will certainly perish if not fed on time!!!). She provided excellent communication and lots of feedback through pictures and texts. It is incredibly difficult for me to be away from my kitty and she truly provided me the peace and happiness that I needed to be able to enjoy my vacation. She listened to what was important to me to take the best care of my baby during the meet and greet and followed up on everything that I asked. I highly recommend Lana.”
“Hannah did a great job caring for our 2 cats. She followed instructions well and is super friendly. Our boys were well cared for. One of our cats has diabetes and needs insulin given subdermally via syringe, along with oral meds, and Hannah did well with administering those. Very reliable, kind sitter. I would highly recommend Hannah!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Penllyn
“Our 11 month old Cavapoo seemed to be very happy with her stay. They sent a ton of photos and it was an added bonus that they have a very nice dog. She was able to hang with her new friend all day. They are very responsive and flexible. we feel comfortable booking them for extended overnight stays.”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with my puppy. She and her husband took the time to get to know us through a thoughtful meet‑and‑greet. Jessica then followed up with clear communication, made sure I felt completely comfortable before the booking, and ensured all details of the day were clear. Throughout the day, she sent regular updates and the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Jessica genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. My puppy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well‑loved. I would absolutely book with Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly caring sitter.”
“Margaret and her family are so welcoming and accommodating! I’m so glad I found such a great daycare option so close to my office. Minnie comes home tired in the best way and I know she had so much fun while with Margaret. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs and cats. Given medications when required. Long dog walks, trips to dog parks, belly rubs, games, pup cups, a fenced in yard with sprinklers and a puppy pool during hot weather. I use the WoofTrax app to document walks send photos to owners. The cats get play time and cuddles and ear scratches to make them purring. I have taken care of my own pets as well as pets from friends and family. I am currently semi-retired and working from home. I love taking care of pets and provide a warm, friendly environment. I have a fenced in yard, my dog loves playing with other animals. I can go to your home if you prefer and I’ll bring the toys and treats to keep your pet happy.
About: I’m a healthcare professional who works from home most of the time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Before getting my own dog, I spent a year dog-sitting and absolutely loved the experience. I’m now the proud dog mom of Milo, a sweet 2.5-year-old Cockapoo. Milo is friendly, playful, and gets along well with both dogs and children. We’d love to welcome your pup into our home and provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Both my husband and I work from home most of the time. We have two kids in elementary school. We walk our dog regularly between breaks. I live in a single house with a fenced backyard. My 2.5 old cockapoo Milo is a sweet, friendly dog. My two kids love dogs.
“Maranda was awesome. My 1 year old lab had tons of fun staying for doggie daycare. She sent me some really nice pics through out the day. I will definitely use her services in the future. Thanks.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Mochi with a sitter. Jason was so responsive from the start. He sent lots of photos and it was evident he’s a pro! Mochi had a great day!! I would recommend him everytime! Thank you again!”
“Cleo is a very skittish rescue. Emilie seems to have the magic touch with her. Maybe Cleo feels so comfortable with her because she picks up her kindness and love for dogs. You can't go wrong with Emilie.”
“Matt & Tara were great with my gal, Pebbles. They sent me a couple of photos along with messages letting me know she was okay, which was a relief especially since this was the 1st time using them, will definitely rebook with Matt & Tara”
“Oreo had a wonderful time at Mike's house! She enjoyed playing with Mike's sweet dog Trent as well as a few other four-legged guests in the spacious fenced backyard, and came home happy and exhausted. Mike was very prompt with communication and sent some fun pictures. Thank you!”
About: A long time animal lover, I have 20 plus years of experience with dogs! I specialize in senior dogs. I can administer medication and am first aid certified! I am currently looking for long term employment, so my schedule during the week is very open. I care for my father every other Saturday. I have a fenced in yard, and a big comfy dog-friendly couch to lounge on! I have all the equipment necessary, including a crate that is sized for large dogs.
“Veronica saved us after a last-minute pet sitting cancellation had us in a bind. She was so quick with getting back to us and taking the boys for the day. Her communication throughout their stay with her was wonderful, and we are so grateful for her excellent care of our two goofy big dogs. Would absolutely bring them back for another visit! Thank you!”
About: I have always had a strong love for animals and enjoy being around them. I currently have a bunny, a dog, and a bird, and I have also cared for many reptiles in the past. I have experience working with dogs at a dog daycare, where I helped care for, feed, bathe, play with, and give attention to the dogs. Animals genuinely make me happy, and I love spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Animals are a big part of our everyday routine! We love spending time with our dogs by taking them on walks, playing with them, giving them lots of attention, and of course, plenty of cuddles. We make sure our pets get the care, exercise, and love they need throughout the day, and we really enjoy making them feel happy, comfortable, and part of our family. I always prioritize pets’ safety and comfort by keeping a close eye on them, following their routines and instructions, using leashes when needed, making sure they have fresh water, and keeping their environment clean and secure.
“Sarah was wonderful with Curtis! Her communication & updates during the day were top notch, and Curtis came home a happy boy. Will definitely book him for a day at Sarah's again. Thank you!”

“Christopher is clearly a dog person and it shows. My dog couldn’t be more excited to see him. He showed up rain or shine and went above and beyond for exercise and play time with him while I was away. Would definitely recommend.”
“We just had our second meet-and-greet with Kim, and we are already impressed! She was very professional, punctual and took the time to ask questions about Duke’s routine and personality. You can tell Kim loves animals and Duke warmed up instantly. We feel completely confident in booking with Kim again for our future dog walking needs and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet caregiver!”
“Bryn has been fantastic, she is on time, energetic and most of all, she loves the animals she takes care of. Our dog “Bonnie” looks forward to having Bryn walk her, Bryn sends us pictures along the walk, as Bonnie romps along. Bryn is a treasure.👍🏼🐶😊”
“Our dog LOVES Amanda’s visits. She is professional but friendly and genuinely cares about his welfare! We have had to reschedule our walks a few times and Amanda has always been so flexible about it. We are lucky to have her!”
About: Hello and welcome! With a fur baby of my own, I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I go above and beyond to make sure that your pet feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, cozy snuggles on the couch, or quiet walks in my neighborhood, your pet will feel right at home and get 5-star treatment! ⭐️ and lots of pictures of course! 📸 I have grown up my whole life taking care of dogs and cats and love bringing the joy of animals into my home. I have a large house, large backyard, and live in a quiet walk friendly neighborhood with close access to walking paths and parks. Every pet will be treated like family and I will give them personalized attention and adapt routines to their needs to ensure a stress-free environment. I have experience with dogs of all ages and breeds and can administer medication if needed. My dog is my first child and I will treat yours like one of my own 💛 I work mostly at home and sometimes in the office. My schedule is very flexible so I will modify my schedule to fit your pets needs! I have a large yard and a super friendly senior dog to keep your dog company. If your dog has a crate or bed I have plenty space for it in my home. My home is their home so they are more than welcome to snuggles on the couch or bed (if ok with you!). Safety is my top priority. I am comfortable with all dog temperaments and will adjust routines as needed for your pets individual needs and behavior.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and detail‑oriented professional, I provide safe, structured, and affectionate care for every pup I host. I’m committed to keeping your dog’s routine consistent, their environment calm, and you fully updated with photos and check‑ins. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet snuggles, or playtime, I tailor each stay to their needs so you can travel with total peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I structure my days around consistency and reliability. I make time each morning and evening for feeding, play, and check‑ins, and I keep my schedule flexible enough to accommodate drop‑ins, medication routines, or extra attention for pets who need it. I prioritize maintaining each animal’s normal rhythm — whether that means early breakfasts, midday enrichment, or quiet evening companionship — so their routine stays steady even while you’re away. Clear communication is part of my daily flow as well, so you can expect regular updates and photos throughout each visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment that feels safe and familiar for them. I follow your instructions exactly — from feeding and litter box routines to preferred play styles and comfort needs — and I take time to build trust at your pet’s pace. I’m attentive to small details like keeping spaces tidy, refreshing water frequently, and monitoring behavior for any signs of stress or discomfort. I also respect your home by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Throughout each visit, I send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re receiving thoughtful, reliable care.

“Lana is amazing and it gave us such great comfort knowing she was taking care of our dog, Rocky, while being out of town! Awesome updates on what was going on and how Rocky was doing. Great communication and photos shared. Will absolutely book Lana again!”
About: I lived with and took care of two dogs for two years with a partner. Both were Bernedoodles; one was an adult and the other was a 9-weeks old puppy when we first got him. In addition, I have fostered a kitten with my sister for 4 months. Some traits I have that make me suitable for pet care are that I am reliable, punctual, and can follow instructions well. I am an orchestral violinist and Oxford academic, so my schedule is flexible and varies week to week. I am typically available for dog walking in the mornings and afternoons, 7 days a week. I offer dog walking services where I travel to the dog's home and walk the dog in their neighborhood, respecting the dog's autonomy by letting them lead the way and choose the route, within safe boundaries.
About: I’ve loved and been around animals since childhood. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs. As an adult, I now have 2 cats of my own. I’m very passionate about human-animal connection. I am currently a graduate student taking night classes two days a week. This is something I’m hoping to fill my spare time with :) I view and treat animals with the same respect as I do people. Pets need not only the necessities, but a high level of emotional attention.

“I don't know why it took me so long to post this review. Tyler was absolutely amazing with my dog, Austin! I had originally booked Austin with Tyler for one week but due to housing issues I had to extend his stay. I actually had to extend Austin's stay a few times and Tyler was always happy and willing to house Austin for as long as we needed. Tyler let me come visit Austin periodically since I missed him so much, and every time I visited Austin looked great and seemed truly happy there. I will 10/10 rebook with Tyler! I am forever grateful for Tyler's help throughout that difficult time and highly recommend using him for whatever length of stay your pup or kitty needs.”

After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
“Wow! We are so happy that we chose Gabriella to be our dog’s new sitter! Kiko acclimated to her home immediately. He even ate on the first day! We thought he would not have eaten for a few days.
