“Grace was awesome! She took amazing care of my 2 dogs and made sure they felt at home in her home with her family. They got extra snuggles, slept in the bed like they love to and had a great outdoor space to play in. She sent updates daily with lots of pictures. I will be using grace again for my next trip! She even made them special treats to come home with.”
“Scotty was fantastic with my dog Chloe and he made the whole process really easy. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he watches. I especially appreciated that he even came to pick up my dog, which was a huge help. I’d definitely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to others.”
“Christina was great with our pups. She took special care of their needs while we were away and truly felt like our babies were in good hands. The pics and video helped us stay connected with them while we were away. Our kids missed the pups so much and the images were helpful to them, too.”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Hanelle has to be the nicest person but on top of that the best person to trust your pet with. She went above and beyond special care for our little Ginger and spoiled her with homemade biscuits on top of all the love she gave her. She exercised her regularly and listened to any additional information we gave her! Certainly recommend her and will be using her again”
“Sara was an absolutely perfect pet sitter!! She is very communicative and flexible. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the night and updates. Most importantly Wilson clearly had an amazing time time and we couldn’t be happier.100% recommend!!!”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”

In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives.

They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“Chrisie was extremely friendly and kind from the Meet and Greet all the way through Westin’s stay. You can tell from the moment you meet her, she genuinely loves taking care of pets.

“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds both small and large and everything in between. Every dog has its own personality, energy level and unique needs. I take the time to understand each dog’s communication style so they feel comfortable, safe and loved while in my care. Your pup will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care. Although my Rover profile is new, my experience with dogs is not. As a Rover customer myself, I realized there was a real need for reliable, loving pet sitters in our area. After seeing how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, I decided to become a caregiver myself. I’m home weekday evenings and all weekends. I have reliable transportation and pride myself on being dependable. Whether you need care planned in advance, have a last-minute schedule change or just life’s short notice events, I will do my best to be there for you and your pets. If my book states unavailable, please message regardless as I may be able to accommodate your requests. My home is a safe, dog and puppy-friendly environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. If providing drop in and walking services, I will respect your property and leave your home and pets as secured as found.

“Thank you so very much for taking care of Bruno. We were able to be away for my son‘s wedding for a couple of days without worry. Having you update us and sending photos made us feel even better. I know that we’ll be calling again in the future when we have other times that we may need you Thank you so so very much.”
About: I have one year of cat care experience and am also the proud owner of two cats of my own. Caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, routine, and understanding each cat’s unique personality. I know how to keep litter boxes clean, provide fresh food and water, play with cats at their own comfort level, and give them the attention and care they need while you’re away. I’ll treat your cat like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I also have experience in helping cats swallow pills.
“Isabella was wonderful! She stopped over a few days prior to meet and learn about what our pets needed while we were away which I appreciated. We will definitely book her again next time we are out of town!”
“Madelyn was wonderful and took great care of my fur baby even when my driveway was covered in snow and also helped us out over Christmas! Our cat is a needy boy and usually complains a lot when we leave but he didn’t seem to mind this time. Would definitely recommend!”
“Lillie was responsive and friendly. My cats were not. But she gave great feedback and tried to get my antisocial babies to engage. Very reliable. I would 100% engage her again.”
“Logan was wonderful with our kitties as always. They are pretty shy but he has completely won them over. He’s reliable and helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Nate took good care of my 2 senior cats while I was away on vacation. He did daily drop in visits, litter box, fed/watered, gave 1 daily medication, and spent time with them. He also sent pics and gave me updates. My house was clean when I got home. Nate was prompt to respond on the site, we met in advance at a public eatery to get to know each other, and he came to my house after to meet my cats and get a basic run down on their needs. He was very pleasant, easy to talk to, and my cats took an instant liking to him. I would highly recommend him to others and will hire him again in the future! It's so hard to find good, reliable yet reasonable pet care. Thank you so much Nate!!!”

“Alexis was fantastic! Alexis brings calm welcoming energy that my girls needed and I felt very comfortable with having her in my home. My two cats are very different, a three-month old kitten with chaotic energy and oral medication needs, and a one-year old with timid shy energy, Alexis was really great with both personalities. She followed all my directions perfectly, she sent nice pictures at every visit, and she even got my shy girl to come out of hiding a couple times. I will definitely be using Alexis again someday!”
“Lori is a great sitter. Gracie (the cat) pulled her antics as normal and Lori was concerned with her well being. Thank you for the great overall concern and the cute pictures she took. Lori is in my book for future bookings. Thank you again!”
About: My first job as a kid was to walk the neighbors dog everyday after school. Since then, I have taken care of all types of critters.

While taking care of your furry family member, I will be sure to abide by all the rules you have set forth to ensure the safety of your pet.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rowland
“Connie was wonderful with Stella. She watched her in her home for a full day. I’m confident Stella had the companionship, love and attention she deserved while we were gone. We will definitely use Connie in the future.”
“Christina was an excellent choice when we needed a dog sitter for Cassidy. We were in Pennsylvania to attend a family wake and funeral and went online to search for a dog day care. Christina was very professional when introducing our dog to her dogs - everything went very smoothly. We also received pictures during the day of Cassidy on a walk, eating dinner and laying on her bed relaxing. We knew our dog was in good hands shortly after meeting Christina just by watching her interact with our dog. All in all, having Christina take care of Cassidy was a positive experience for us and helped to make a family funeral easier to deal with, knowing our dog was safe and well taken care of. We would highly recommend anyone who is going through Milford, PA, to use Christina to take care of your dogs. Thanks, Christina for an awesome experience! Sue, Bill and Cassidy from NY”
“Scotty was great with Nola! It was a last-minute booking and despite the snow falling, he met us outside. Showcased the area Nola would be, and sent pictures of her comfortable! He was super friendly and accommodating for us, and Nola really loved her time with him!”
“We left our lab with Sara for half a day so we could attend a nearby wedding, and she was so great with him! He's super energetic, and she was so patient with him and took him on long walks and played with him! She was also so helpfully flexible about the pickup time, because we couldn't really pinpoint it in advance. Would definitely go back if we're in the area!”
“My pup Farrah is in her glory when staying with Hannelie. She has room to roam and two great pups to play with. Hannelie prioritizes safety and fun, leaving me with nothing but confidence that Farrah has the best care.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was 18. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted, relied on me to walk, play and feed their pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I’m a stay at home mom so i have all the time to take care of your pups. I have 3 friendly pups to keep your pups company at all times. They can play in the back yard as well with me supervising.
About: As a lifelong animal lover who has always shared my home with pets, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in caring and attentive hands. Your dog will be lovingly cared for and closely supervised on our peaceful 8-acre property, complete with a beautiful creek and plenty of space to explore. We provide lots of toys and treats to keep your dog happy and engaged, and our friendly miniature schnauzer enjoys making new canine friends (after a little welcoming bark or two!). Our free-ranging chickens also add an extra bit of entertainment and curiosity for visiting dogs. You can feel confident that your dog will be safe, comfortable, and well cared for in our cozy home, where they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and fun throughout their stay. I am home full-time after retiring from a 30-year career in corporate IT, which allows me to devote my full attention to caring for dogs providing constant supervision, companionship, and personalized care, ensuring your dog receives the attention, affection, and exercise they deserve. We have a spacious 8-acre property with long, groomed walking paths where dogs can explore and enjoy the outdoors, typically leashed for safety. Our back property is exceptionally private, featuring wide, flat open fields with no immediate neighbors and located well away from the road, providing a peaceful and secure environment. We also have a fenced play area where dogs can safely enjoy off-leash play and exercise. Inside, dogs are treated as part of the family and are welcome throughout our roomy and comfortable home. At night, they can relax and sleep in cozy dog beds located in quiet spare rooms, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home during their stay.
About: I’ve been a proud dog owner since 2013, raising my own pups from just 8 weeks old and learning the ins and outs of dog behavior along the way. For the past three years, I’ve offered dog boarding, caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. Patience is my strength, and I know how to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Here, your dog won’t just have a place to stay — they’ll have 8 acres of open land to run, play, and explore to their heart’s content. Whether your pup loves a good game of fetch, sniffing every corner of the yard, or lounging in the sun, they’ll find their own little slice of paradise here. My goal is to ensure your dog is not only well cared for but truly happy during their stay. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to spend playing with and caring for your dogs. Since I have dogs and other animals of my own, I rarely travel, so I’m available most of the time to look after your furry family members. We live on open land with no neighbors nearby, so if your dog loves to bark or roam, they’re free to enjoy themselves without worry. I usually keep dogs indoors for comfort and safety, but I also have a giant crate available if you’d like your dog to be crated.
“I highly Recommend Alexis for your doggy daycare or boarding needs. My puppy Finneas absolutely loves going To Alexis’s home. When I come to pick him up he never wants to leave. He gets so much attention and exercise while with her. And I love the fact that he is getting to hang out with Other dogs. She genuinely loves to see Finneas and it is obvious she truly loves what she does.”

We are two medical professionals and our schedules suddenly overlapped in a way that our bully girl needed someone to take care of her twice a week in the middle of the day. Natisha to the rescue! So responsive, so responsible, so punctual, so loving and caring to our girl! Now we’ve permanently retained her twice a week. Five stars isn’t enough stars for Natisha’s service.”

About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.

With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“Chester was great. He sent us many pictures and videos of our puppy. He had a great play area setup. We felt like our dog was in great hands. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking or a reliable dog sitter!”
“Rochelle was AWESOME!!! Home away from Home, for MyMann!! Highly recommend her services....We left MyMann in her care for 4 days, we received daily photos and updates, very appreciated. Thank you for your love and care for MyMann!”

“It was my first time boarding Leo and can’t be thankful enough to Alexis. She was super easygoing and reassuring that Leo was ok. I’ll certainly recommend Alexis! Her yard is great for dogs to run and play freely.”
“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay. It was our lab's first time boarding and Katie sent updates regularly throughout the day which helped ease the transition. Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds both small and large and everything in between. Every dog has its own personality, energy level and unique needs. I take the time to understand each dog’s communication style so they feel comfortable, safe and loved while in my care. Your pup will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care. Although my Rover profile is new, my experience with dogs is not. As a Rover customer myself, I realized there was a real need for reliable, loving pet sitters in our area. After seeing how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, I decided to become a caregiver myself. I’m home weekday evenings and all weekends. I have reliable transportation and pride myself on being dependable. Whether you need care planned in advance, have a last-minute schedule change or just life’s short notice events, I will do my best to be there for you and your pets. If my book states unavailable, please message regardless as I may be able to accommodate your requests. My home is a safe, dog and puppy-friendly environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. If providing drop in and walking services, I will respect your property and leave your home and pets as secured as found.
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have experience with special needs animals, seniors and kittens/puppies. I can administer medicine and am very cognizant of a pet’s personality. For example I have a timid cat, a menace cat and a love bug cat. My Siberian husky is more cat than dog too. I can do drop ins or board dogs in my home. I can also stop by for walks. For the board ins I prefer to take in only dogs because I don’t want to stress the kitty crew out, but I’d be available to come do drop ins for the cats. My yard isn’t completely fenced so I’d probably take the doggos to the park at apple grove and for walks around town. I have three friendly cats and my husky also loves dogs.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Jordyn P. gave my dog, Loki, while I was away for four days. She is the true definition of a dog lover! From the moment Loki arrived, she made sure he felt comfortable and loved. She gave him plenty of playtime, lots of one-on-one attention, and treated him like part of her family. It was exactly the home-like environment I was hoping for. Jordyn was also excellent at communicating. She kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The best part was seeing Loki come home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That told me everything I needed to know—he was comfortable, felt at home, and was genuinely loved during his stay. I highly recommend Jordyn P. to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. Loki and I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Jordyn, for taking such wonderful care of my boy!”
“Nathaniel did a great job watching our dog Max for us. He was very accommodating, sent pictures along the way, and was great with his communication. I highly recommend Nathaniel to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Right from the start, Kerri was so great to us. She came over to meet our dog beforehand and sent us messages with pictures while we were away. She really put us at ease, and we appreciate that so much. We recommend her 100%.”
