“We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. This was our puppy’s first time away from home, and we were definitely nervous, but Michael made us feel so comfortable from the very first meet & greet. He sent pictures and updates every single day, which really put our minds at ease. When she unexpectedly started going into heat, Michael didn’t hesitate. He even bought diapers so we wouldn’t have to stress after getting back from the airport. That meant so much to us. She did great in his care. We’ll absolutely be booking with Michael again!”
“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”
“David is Wonderful, pets , sitter He care with attention to details, follow up , professionalism, and love . We were gone for a week and he gives the best care to my two dogs . He updated us with a beautiful pictures .. thank you David”
“Johanny did a wonderful job caring for our Honey while we were on vacation. When we brought her there, her home was welcoming and set up to care for our dog. We received photos and videos. When we came to pick her up, she was shampooed, and even had a little bow in her hair. I would definitely leave our dog in her care again and highly would recommend her.”
“Equasia is a beautiful person with a kind and generous soul. I was in a bind, looking for someone to watch my cat Leonidas, who has diabetes this past holiday weekend. I was going for knee surgery the Monday after the holiday and needed a safe place for him to stay. Equasia was willing and able to watch him, being ok with giving him his medicine at such short notice. We spoke on the phone so we could have a brief introduction and I was sold. Not only was she able and willing to watch him but I had no way of picking him up after my hospital discharge and she was willing to bring him home. She went above and beyond the care and support that was needed. She kept me posted daily on how he was and sent me pictures of him as well. I will be going through this surgery again and I will be making arrangements with Equasia for care of my little guy Leonidas. She wasn't just a pet sitter, she was a pet parent and she cared for him as such. 5 stars, I will always go to her if and when I need extended pet care. She provides a comfortable home for a newcomer, making it a safe space for him. I couldn't ask for a better place and person to watch over Leonidas. I am grateful to have met her and thankful for everything that she did.”
“Bella is usually stressed whenever she stays away from home but she was fine when home She is easy to care for because she spends most of her time resting in the warmest place she can find but I appreciate the extra care to get her to eat”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sharon. She’s an amazingly, caring woman who took exceptional care of Pia, my 14 year-old Shih Tzu in her home. And I encourage anyone else who wants a dog sitter - who takes small dogs, only one at a time, and is genuinely interested & attentive to your fur baby’s needs - book with Sharon. Highly recommend. I already have another trip planned, & Pia will be with Sharon in her lovely ranch home & fenced yard!”
“Great people, great family. Stella was treated with the same love and attention that we provide her daily. They were very flexible and sent lots of pics to let us know she was ok. Their standard of care was exceptional.”
“Laura is a all around loving mother, she treated my Son (pet doggie) Noel as family. Her sensitivity and patience calmed my dog's separation anxiety. He adjusted easily, as her kids and husband showed him love and caring. She was a wonderful responsible boarder. I will definitely use her services again. My Heartfelt Thanks Again to Laura, her Husband and Kids. A Big Kiss from Noel to All. God Bless Always.”
“Theresa and her entire family have truly treated Sissy like family. Everything from drop off to pick up was easy and seamless. I have so much peace about leaving my dog for an entire week knowing how much she was going to be loved and cared for. We cannot thank you enough! Sissy loves you all!”
“Tracy was amazing. We left our new 8 week old puppy with her and Tracy kept us updated with how she was doing as well as sent us pictures. We felt so comfortable leaving our puppy with Tracy. She was great at communicating and we have nothing but good things to say about our first time experience with Rover. Unfortunately we won’t be in Allentown again (our daughter graduated this weekend) but we highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter. Thank you Tracy!!”
“To sum it up in one word AMAZING! This was my first time Isabella has not been with me since she was 8 weeks old. Maria and her family took wonderful care of her. I got pictures and updates multiple times a day. Maria responded quickly if I had any questions. She also checked with me prior to doing anything we did not discuss at drop off to be sure I was ok with it. Isabella had such a wonderful time I don’t think she wanted to leave lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“My dog had an excellent time staying in Carole’s home while I was working. She has a beautiful home with plenty of space for dogs to run and play. Would definitely recommend!”
“thanks a million for your amazing care of my dog!!! Emanuel, made my time away stress-free, he sent me pictures an videos, making me feel that my dog was happy and in a safe place. thank you for your excellent service, we would definitely be back!!!”
“Megan had my 3 pups for a week. It was their first time being away from us, but they came home happy. She sent daily photos and all went well. We would book again if we needed a sitter.”
“Our dog Tucker is initially shy around new people and other dogs but Tiffany was able to really make him feel at home during his stay with her. Her enclosed backyard gave Tucker plenty of privacy to settle in and explore his new surroundings. She updated us with pictures and it was very clear early on that Tucker was settling in just fine with her other dog and family. We will definitely be using Tiffany again for our dog.”
“Thank you Emily for your exceptional care provided for Sprouty. Throughout your time, you consistently went above and beyond our expectations. The extra time you spent getting to know Sprouty's unique personality, quirks, and anxieties truly made a significant impact on Sprouty's well-being. The regular updates and pictures you provided were immensely reassuring and helped us feel connected to Sprouty, while we were away. Would recommend you to our friends and family and would definitely consider next time if we are in the area. Thank you.”
“Kim was incredibly concerned about my dog, Laila. I neglected to inform her about my dog’s open wound, and she kindly offered to take her to my veterinarian. That’s the kind of caring and attentive caregiver I look for, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a great caregiver.”

“Denise was a great find. She responded promptly to a last-minute request. Came out and met with us. Although my cat usually does not take to strangers right away, he came out for Denise during the meet and greet. Denise was professional, accommodating, and I could tell immediately she was an animal lover. I felt my Jax was in good hands. I will definitely be using Denise's services again.”
“Thank you Christine for sitting my kitties and all the pictures you sent with your updates. Christine was quick to respond back when I sent the request. She came over for a meet and greet before I left. Christine was very welcoming very friendly.”
“We were never able to leave for a trip anywhere without fretting about who would be able to care for the cats. I feel like a weight has been taken off my shoulders! We really appreciated the updates and photos Hayley sent throughout the week. It helped to alleviate any concerns. I would definitely use Hayley again and would recommend her very professional services without reservation.”

“We couldn't be happier with the way Eren and Luca cared for our two young cats while we were away! They gave them so much love and attention, and were very patient with our skittish kitty, monitoring him carefully to make sure he was getting enough food when he was too anxious to eat at regular mealtimes. They were great about checking in and sent us lots of video and photo updates, making it easy for us to relax during our trip in the confidence that our cats were being well taken care of. They followed our instructions carefully and left our house just as they found it. We highly recommend them!”

“Michael came over to our house 2 times a day to feed our 2 Rottie shepherd mixes and let them out to use the bathroom. Him and his family were so great with the dogs! Our dogs are incredibly happy and looked like they had the best time ever in every pic! Michael came over in advance to meet the puppies and get an idea of what we needed, which I really appreciated! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our babies. If you are on the fence about who to select and reading everyone’s reviews like I did, I can say Michael was great and we will be recurrent customers for sure and plan on rebooking him for future travels we have coming up!

About: HI! I'm a young retired pet lover who is looking to help out fur babies families! I am available for house sitting and pet hosting at my home. Being retired, I am not on a regular schedule so I am home most often, but just like everyone, I do have appointments, shopping etc outside the home. I try to not be gone more than 5 hours at a time. I have had many dogs and cats in my life but none right now. I have been helping family and friends my whole life with pet sitting. I have helped with Chihuahua’s to PitBulls!

I have a great fenced yard for throwing balls! I have a covered back porch so most fur babies love to lay outside but are under cover

“Very nice family. They provided the highest level of attention to my pet. They were versatile and adapted their schedule to accommodate our Stella. Stella loved going to stay with them.”
About: I’m David, a dedicated Pet Pawtrait Photographer 🐾📸 and the owner of Charlie’s Pet Pawtraits & Boutique in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s a heartfelt passion inspired by my beloved pup Charlie, who was with me for over 11 wonderful years. Losing him was tough, but it left me with an abundance of love 💙 I’m eager to share with other dogs through both personalized care and capturing their spirit through photography. I offer a boutique, home-like dog care environment 🏡 where I never take in more than 1–3 dogs at a time, ensuring your dog receives plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime in our spacious indoor gallery, and adventures on the nearby D&L Trail as well as numerous local parks 🚶🌳🐕. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and peace of mind are my top priorities—I treat every pup as if they were my own family. I’m also a proud dad to a mature 9-year-old who lovingly helps me care for dogs, adding to the warm and nurturing atmosphere 👧❤️. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a calm senior, or anywhere in between, I’m patient and adaptable to their needs. As a special thank you for choosing my care, I’ll send you beautiful photos of your dog enjoying their stay—and if you’d like, high-quality non-watermarked downloads of these photos are available upon request 🎁✨. This way, you get to see just how happy and comfortable your pup is during their time with us! In addition to care, I offer pet portrait sessions either in my studio or at your favorite location—and many pet owners enjoy choosing one of our recommended local spots near the studio for a special outing and photoshoot 🎞️🐶. I’m excited to meet your pup and provide a personalized, loving experience that truly sets us apart from typical kennel-style sitters. As the owner of our pet photography boutique and photography studio 🐾📸, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I prioritize making sure every pup in my care feels loved and well attended to 💙. My 9-year-old daughter, who is mature and gentle 👧❤️, is often excited to help out and meet new furry friends, adding to the loving, family-like environment. Pet care is truly integrated into our daily life and brings so much joy to both of us 😊. This balance allows me to provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime 🐕🎾, and peaceful rest moments for every dog, while also continuing to grow my photography passion and business. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I gave my own beloved pup 🐕❤️—a love that was abundant and unconditional. I create a safe, nurturing environment 🏡 where every dog feels comfortable, valued, and truly at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with attentive, compassionate care that puts their well-being first 🐾😊.
“Renata has been great so far in watching our 9 week old puppy while I work during the day! He comes home sleepy sometimes so we know he's getting enough playtime! We will definitely continue to use her when needed.”
“Lori is the sweetest person I have ever met!! She was extremely kind to not only me but my dog as well. She went above and beyond and was incredibly flexible and understanding. She treated my dog like it was her own. I will always book my dog at her place because I know my dog has a great time there :)”
“Mike was really great with our pup! Our 8-month-old is still getting used to going to daycare, but Mike was really patient with her. His dog is friendly and was a good playmate for our girl, and his house is kept clean. We got a lot of updates, pictures, and videos, which was appreciated! Will be rebooking in the future!”

“Brooke and Jeremy were amazing for doggy daycare. They were incredibly accommodating with my early work hours, which made everything so much easier for me. My pup tends to be pretty anxious, but they handled him with so much care and patience-it really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the attention and effort they put into making him comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”
“Pamela is an incredibly kind person who took such great care of my dog. I was genuinely amazed when I went to pick him up—he seemed like he wanted to stay with her, as if they’d known each other for years. It was such a profound and touching moment. I’m really grateful to have met Pamela, and I feel so at ease knowing I can trust her with my pup.”
“Mike was fantastic. He watched our boy while we took a rafting trip nearby. He made me immediately feel at ease knowing he’d take great care of our pup. He’s also in a great neighborhood that I’m sure dogs love to walk. Highly recommend.”
“OMG, Jeanne is sooo amazing!!! Always there when I need her... my PayPay loves to hang with her and her husband!!!! That alone, says a lot to me.... because he’s picky with the friends he chooses.... whether it’s take care while I’m at work or a week or two while I’m away… I’m never concerned bringing my little guy to them...”
“Our two dogs seemed to be at ease with Megan during a four hour "day care" at her residence. They came home happy, tired and healthy. I think that's a good sign. I met her two dogs and found them to be gentle and well-behaved. Although our dogs were with her for only a four hour stay that day, she still somehow managed to get nice, little walk in for them! At this point, I feel comfortable with Megan and her ability to care for our doggies and would use her service again. She's very professional, cordial and accommodating. She provided quick responses every time I had questions. Thanks!”
About: I have loved and taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs from puppies to seniors and understand how to care to all their needs. Along with that I take the time to really get to know each dog on their own and establish a connection so that each party is happy. I currently work a full time job. However I work from home so that allows me to be flexible with my time and always there to attend to the dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own to give your fur baby’s company. The dogs can free roam around the house but I’ll always make sure I can see them. If preferred to be caged that is also possible.
“Equasia was fantastic and kind to me and my pup, and kept me updated all day. He came home very happy. They even brushed him and took him on multiple walks. Sent sooo many photos. I'm very happy and so is he! Would absolutely book again.”

I have a 1/4 acre yard unfenced that I let my dog and cat play around in.

About: I (Eren) have been a veterinary technician since 2023, working in a variety of settings including a clinic, shelter, and university research hospital caring for special-needs dogs. Through this experience, I’m comfortable with medical care, senior pets, administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and handling animals with unique behavioral needs. I’ve also had animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to exotics, so I understand how different every species (and every personality!) can be. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with shy or anxious animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My partner Luca is also part of our Rover profile and shares this same passion for animal care. We have multiple pets together and work as a team to provide attentive, reliable care. Luca previously worked at the same clinic I’m at as a receptionist and veterinary assistant, and now works in a science lab where he also helps care for lab animals. His experience makes him calm, capable, and very comfortable handling a wide range of animals. What sets us apart is that we combine professional veterinary experience with genuine, everyday love for animals. Between the two of us, your pets will always have attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. We currently have cats, ferrets, mice and 1 bearded dragon of our own, and we hold ourselves to the same high standard of care that we would want for them. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because animals have always been a huge part of our lives. I work full-time, but I schedule my Rover services around my work hours so that every visit gets my full attention. I’m typically available before or after work for drop-ins, walks, and evening check-ins, and I always communicate clearly about my availability. My partner Luca helps provide additional flexibility. He is a full-time student and works part-time in a lab, with a schedule that tends to stay consistent for longer periods. Because our schedules often complement each other, one of us is usually available when the other is not. This allows us to offer more consistent and reliable care throughout the day. Even with busy schedules, caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy and make time for, and we never take on more than we can fully commit to. We primarily care for pets in our clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my first priority. We follow your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and playtime, while also keeping an eye out for any early signs of stress or illness. We’re respectful of your home, trustworthy with your space, and committed to creating a calm, clean environment for your pets while you’re away. We provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing.

I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. Just let me know what times would work best for you! I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions.

I know how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure at all times. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I love pets so much and since I take care of people evert day with my job I want to be able to help take care of pets on my off days. I work full time.

About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I bring over 50 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a former veterinary technician, I’m comfortable with everything from giving medications to caring for senior pets and puppies who need extra attention. I know how to spot signs of stress, discomfort, or illness early, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, training reinforcement, or simply making sure your furry friend feels safe and loved, I go the extra mile to keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily routine — it’s second nature to me! I work full-time, but my evenings (after 5pm), Tuesdays, and weekends are dedicated to spending quality time with pets. At home, I share my life with two sweet cats of my own, so there’s never a day that doesn’t involve a little extra love, play, or purring. I also volunteer regularly at my local cat sanctuary, so even when I’m not with Rover pets, I’m surrounded by whiskers, paws, and wagging tails. Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s truly who I am. I specialize in caring for pets right where they’re most comfortable — in their home! This means your pets get to stick to their normal routine, sleep in their favorite spots, and enjoy all the comforts they’re used to. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, or walks, or staying overnight to keep your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My focus is on giving them the kind of attention and care they’d get if you were home yourself.
About: HI! I'm a young retired pet lover who is looking to help out fur babies families! I am available for house sitting and pet hosting at my home. Being retired, I am not on a regular schedule so I am home most often, but just like everyone, I do have appointments, shopping etc outside the home. I try to not be gone more than 5 hours at a time. I have had many dogs and cats in my life but none right now. I have been helping family and friends my whole life with pet sitting. I have helped with Chihuahua’s to PitBulls! I try to keep your fur babies on the same routine they have with you. Since I'm retired, I can take them on several walks a day. I am patient and enjoy large dogs as well as small. I am the perfect choice if your fur baby does better without other pets or children around. Or may be shy or skittish. Bring a couple favorite toys! I am retired but do help with caregiving of two family members so I am gone up to 5 hours at a time a couple times a week. Your fur baby is allowed on my couch and bed. I have a great fenced yard for throwing balls! I have a covered back porch so most fur babies love to lay outside but are under cover
About: I am able to handle any size dog and provide the physical demands and stamina of going on walks as an athlete. I have watched and walked a variety of dogs and know that they each have different personalities and needs which I am able to accommodate for. I daily feed and walks my two-family dogs every day for about a mile. I also take them to trails so they can see a different scenery. As a dog walker, I am able to walk at different speeds and different distances depending on the dog, and for drop in visits. I am able to feed, play with, and make sure they are taken care of.
“Jessica is a fantastic dog walker. She took the time to get to know our dogs and their needs. She built a great rapport with them and took great care of them. She communicated well with us, as well. We will definitely be booming with her again.”
About: I have two dogs and for the past 9 years I have volunteered at an animal rescue weekly. Providing care, walking feeding and playing with dogs while they awaited a forever home. I am a stay at home Mom who's children are working and in college. I would like to fill my week days doing what I enjoy. I will handle any dog in my care like they are my own. Their safety is very important to me. My goal is to give your dog some exercise and play so when you return they only need some love from you.
About: I am a 32 year old animal lover. I have two Australian cattle dogs as well as a border collie mix and border collie of my own. I have been around animals my whole life. I have worked in a boarding kennel as well as train, so I am comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. Between working in the kennel and having special needs dogs growing up I have also become comfortable giving meds. I know leaving pets behind for trips isn't easy, but you could rest easy knowing they're in good hands. I enjoy walking and being outside with dogs, so if you think I could be a good match for your furry friend, don't hesitate to send over a message! I love all dogs of any breed and size. Due to my job , i am very flexible day to day allowing for your dog to have plenty of time out, exercise, etc. I do board structured, meaning when overnight and unsupervised, i am crating for safety. I train full time but my job allows for flexibility to ensure boarding dogs are properly exercised, cared for, and enriched! We are in and out all throughout the day to allow for the best balanced boarding possible! I don’t have a fenced in yard, but live on an acre so allow for time on long line of dogs are not off leash reliable to allow them time to play, run, explore, etc! We will also go for walks daily

“We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. This was our puppy’s first time away from home, and we were definitely nervous, but Michael made us feel so comfortable from the very first meet & greet. He sent pictures and updates every single day, which really put our minds at ease. When she unexpectedly started going into heat, Michael didn’t hesitate. He even bought diapers so we wouldn’t have to stress after getting back from the airport. That meant so much to us. She did great in his care. We’ll absolutely be booking with Michael again!”
“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”

“Johanny did a wonderful job caring for our Honey while we were on vacation. When we brought her there, her home was welcoming and set up to care for our dog. We received photos and videos. When we came to pick her up, she was shampooed, and even had a little bow in her hair. I would definitely leave our dog in her care again and highly would recommend her.”
“Bella is usually stressed whenever she stays away from home but she was fine when home She is easy to care for because she spends most of her time resting in the warmest place she can find but I appreciate the extra care to get her to eat”
“Laura is a all around loving mother, she treated my Son (pet doggie) Noel as family. Her sensitivity and patience calmed my dog's separation anxiety. He adjusted easily, as her kids and husband showed him love and caring. She was a wonderful responsible boarder. I will definitely use her services again. My Heartfelt Thanks Again to Laura, her Husband and Kids. A Big Kiss from Noel to All. God Bless Always.”
“Theresa and her entire family have truly treated Sissy like family. Everything from drop off to pick up was easy and seamless. I have so much peace about leaving my dog for an entire week knowing how much she was going to be loved and cared for. We cannot thank you enough! Sissy loves you all!”
“To sum it up in one word AMAZING! This was my first time Isabella has not been with me since she was 8 weeks old. Maria and her family took wonderful care of her. I got pictures and updates multiple times a day. Maria responded quickly if I had any questions. She also checked with me prior to doing anything we did not discuss at drop off to be sure I was ok with it. Isabella had such a wonderful time I don’t think she wanted to leave lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

“Kim was incredibly concerned about my dog, Laila. I neglected to inform her about my dog’s open wound, and she kindly offered to take her to my veterinarian. That’s the kind of caring and attentive caregiver I look for, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a great caregiver.”
“I had a great experience with Melissa and Angel! They sent photos and updates of my boys Bori and Shiloh. What a pleasure to leave my boys in great hands.🙌 I highly recommend!”
“Scott loves dog and my dog had a great time with him. What attracted my attention at the beginning was Scott’s long term experience of taking care of dogs and turned a rescued dog into a therapy dog. During meet and greet, Scott was transparent and he told me his life stories particularly with dogs by showing many pictures. He missed his last dog Jack very much. He also patiently learned my dog’s behavior in order to make my dog being less stressful and comfortable during boarding. He was willing to make changes to accommodate my dog’s behavior and he prepared well before I dropped off my dog. He updated me at least once a day with multiple pictures. I could see my dog was happy, playful and tired. When I picked up my dog, Scott reviewed details with me what happened during my dog’s stay. I highly recommend Scott being your dog sitter. Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Missy was great with Meadow. She’s very responsive to messages. Meadow looked so happy in the pics. She came home happy and tired from all the fun she had with Nissy and the other I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Jason and Brit are so sweet. They treated my Cayenne like their own. And they really seem to know all the personalities of the dogs they care for. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will use them again for sure!”
