“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”
“Betsy and Ron provide a perfect home away from home for our Coco! They are keenly sensitive to individual pup’s personalities and needs. She even cleaned off a windowsill for Coco because looking outside is her favorite pastime. Taking only one at a time, they give your dog all the attention. Another huge plus to me—their house is spotlessly clean. 5 stars is not quite enough!”
“Kira came in clutch after another sitter booked many months in advance cancelled last minute. This wasn’t a short stay but a 10-day booking. She took good care of Charlie and as usual, he came home super happy after his dogcation.”
“Sujeong & Changsun were extremely attentive to our dog. Cooper had a great stay! They sent us updates throughout the night which kept us more at ease as Cooper can be rather anxious at times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter in this area!”
“We moved to Lancaster recently and were anxious about finding a good and reliable dog sitter. We were so happy with how she cared for our dog in her home and won’t hesitate to use her again. Highly recommend!”
“Deb was wonderful with our Bernedoodle, Crosby. He seemed very happy and comfortable in her home and she seemed to love him back. We felt very happy to leave him in her good hands. She kept us updated with pics and videos while we were away which made it even better!”
“Michael and family were great! He was very responsive and checked in every day. You could tell he cared for my fur baby and took great care of her. He listened to her routine and also spoiled her with lots of snuggles and attention. I’m not sure she actually wanted to come home! I would 100% recommend Michael- and I will be sending my fur baby to daycare camp with him again!”
“As always Charissa & Shawn are amazing with the fur babies and I couldn’t be more grateful for them taking in my fur baby when possible. Thank you again and till next time.”
“Kristin was a kind soul and a Godsend for our dog when we had to make plans in a hurry. Our dog is nervous around new people but she didn’t want to leave! Five stars. :)”
“We had a great experience with Andrew and Chelsea! They took fantastic care of my dog and provided updates on him throughout my time away. He was a happy pup when I picked him up! I highly recommend!”
“I was very happy with Jaideep and his wife. During the meet and greet, I felt so comfortable. Zara made herself at home immediately. They kept me updated several times a day with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my little girl was well cared for and getting lots of attention. I truly appreciated the communication. I will be using them again. Highly recommended!”
“Tanya and David were the best dog sitters they treated whiskey and Tequila as their own making sure they were comfortable every minute of this day they had a very extended period of one month and they sent me pictures and videos to assure me that they were being taken care of which they were and the best method that is possible they were very well taken care of I would recommend Tanya and David a thousand times over they have a very nice backyard with tequila and whiskey were able to run and enjoy time outside I highly recommend Tonya and David for dog sitting service. 10 star service.”
“Jessica was amazing with Felix, kept me up to date on how he was doing and provided a bunch of pictures. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she made it extremely worry free. Her dogs were extremely friendly and even welcomed Felix the minute they saw each other. I will definitely choose her to watch Felix again!”
“Donna is such a lovely and kind person and took excellent care of our dog. He is shy, timid and cautiously friendly but it didn’t take him too long at all to start trusting her and getting comfortable! Donna kept us updated with texts and photos throughout his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Amber was great with Kipper! Great communicator, very attentive and welcoming. Her home is set up wonderfully for any pet and I felt completely comfortable leaving him there overnight. She was awesome!”
“We will be a continuing supporter of Daniel for as long as we can. He and his kids are absolutely amazing with Charlie. I will get random photos or videos during the stay. Charlie has always come back super happy and worn out. If you need a sitter, I highly recommend!!!!”
“Lynnea took such great care of our girl, Piper! She posted pictures and videos of her regularly to give us peace of mind. I love the set up - a large fenced yard to run around, a covered patio to get out of the sun, and the "suite" where Piper slept. Lynnea's own dog, Ruger is a sweetheart. 💙 I have already asked Lynnea about day care for Piper to play and socialize with other dogs. We will definitely ask Lynnea to watch Piper again!”

“So grateful for Jennifer. I was looking for someone who would care for my three boy cats (including a very socially anxious one) with kindness, attention to detail, and patience, and she delivered. She even brought them homemade catnip toys, which they are loving. I absolutely would (and plan to) hire her again to look after my boys.”
“Alicia was on schedule, no excuses or drama. Responsibly followed instructions to the letter. Communications were answered promptly, pet pictures were accomplished without pet trauma. (my car is shy) Nice job!”
“Elizabeth has cared for our babies twice. Both times she was reliable and understanding about the stress our animals felt in our absence. She took great care of our pets and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Jenny has been great. I knew she’d do a great job; the cats warmed up to her and looked very happy in their pictures. The next time we need a sitter, we are going to book with Jenny!”
About: Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I am a local high school teacher enjoying summer break and looking to spend my extra time caring for animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently care for three dogs, two cats, a rabbit, and a blue tongue skink, and I have experience with many other types of pets as well. My dogs actively compete in agility, scent work, Fast CAT, and dock diving, so I am comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, medication, playtime, or simply some extra attention while you're away, I will care for them as if they were my own. As a teacher, I am dependable, organized, and responsible. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pets in someone else's care, and I will provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and safe. I have experience with: Dogs Cats Rabbits Reptiles Small animals Senior pets High-energy dogs Multi-pet households I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
About: When caring for cats in your home, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible while keeping their routine familiar. I know cats can be sensitive to change, so I take my time to earn their trust and let them warm up to me at their own pace. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, chat, or just have quiet company, I’ll meet them where they’re at. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean litter box, and any medications they need. I also pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and mood so I can catch if anything seems off. As a cat mom myself, I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your pets are being cared for with patience, love, and genuine attention while you’re away.
“Kathy did a wonderful job not only caring for my cats as if they were her own, but her communication with me was above and beyond. I felt very secure that my cats were well taken care of during our vacation and she made a sincere effort to befriend and nuture our pets when we couldn’t be there. I would highly recommend and will be booking Kathy again on our next trip!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Fran really eased our minds. She came for a meet and greet prior to our vacation, and we immediately knew our 3 cats would be extremely well cared for in our absence. She texted us with questions, updates, and pics. She followed our instructions for medication, special diets, and timed-feedings. She is a super nice person, and will take care of your pets as her own. We definitely recommend her services and plan on requesting her again the next time we go away.”
“The whole experience from setup to final visit was a great experience with Dane and Kayla. My cats loved Dane and clearly looked forward to his visits. The photo updates were much appreciated and gave peace of mind while on vacation. Unfortunately, a worst nightmare for any pet parent happened when one of my cats became critically ill. Dane did everything possible for her and got her prompt emergency care while I could drive home. I know my cats were in good hands while I was away and would definitely recommend for anyone looking for reliable pet care while away.”
“Tina is an amazing sitter! My dog absolutely adores her and her daughter. She is always punctual, communicative, respectful of my home, and cares for my dog like he’s one of her own. I look forward to the pictures she sends every day and can see how happy he is with her. I HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Michael was the most caring, considerate, punctual, and responsible person we could have ever imagined to watch over our dog. We booked him for two days of three visits. He put such thoughtful consideration into every visit. Each visit was perfectly on time, all instructions followed, and a thorough summary of his visits were provided consistently. I’m so relieved to have found a responsible person to care for our pup. We will be rebooking with Michael again!!”
“I was not sure about leaving my dog with a stranger especially since it was short notice and Melanie did know Ace my golden retriever. It turned out to be a good experience. Melanie arranged a visit for a meet and it was obvious that she could handle Ace even though his 80 pounds was very excited when they met. No issues. I would recommend Melanie”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, lizards, and even fish for neighbors, family, friends, and acquaintances for over 15 years! I’m excited to offer my services to even more families in my community to lend a hand and rub some bellies! I currently make my own schedule with my work kiddos that I service, allowing lots of time to pop in and check on your pets throughout the day! I’m also flexible to visit early mornings, late evenings, or even spend the night. I always go the extra mile to give your pets love and attention while you’re away! Whether that’s extra long walks, cuddles for hours in the evenings, or playing outside till the sun goes down, I want your pet to feel safe while their favorite human is away.
About: Had pets my whole life. I walk all the time and know where to take them and have an SUV with enough room to fit them in. Have 2 children who adore all animals. I have a full time job, Tuesday through Saturday, but I’m usually home around 2-4 pm. I’m available every evening and can stop to let them out during the day because of my job flexibility. I love both ends of the spectrum. I love being active and taking dogs for walk/runs. I also love relaxing and cuddling with them and getting to know what their preferences. Will follow all strict diet rules and keep a very clean house to avoid unwanted eating restrictions.

About: We’re happy to follow any specific instructions you have for caring for your pets while they’re with us. If your animals are staying in our home, they’ll have access to a spacious yard where dogs can play and run freely. We also have a small dog and a cat who are well-socialized and have done well with other animals during previous stays.

We have a large, open yard where dogs can play and get plenty of exercise, as well as a designated playpen area in our basement for indoor fun and safety.

“Lynnea was so great with our two pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates as the day progressed, and she took them out many times over the course of the day. Her pup Ruger was also so sweet and well-behaved with our older dogs. We will be using Lynnea again the next time we’re in the area! ?”
“Amanda was quick to respond and answered all my questions. She was attentive to our puppy's needs and shared an update with us during the day. She was personable and treated our dog like one of her own. We would be happy to have her watch our puppy again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I had such a great experience. Jordan was great with Scruffy, had a welcoming environment, and was very communicative. I knew my pup was is good hands which was reassuring. I recommend Jordan to others and would certainly have Scruffy stay with her again.”
About: As an experienced dog foster, I have cared for more than 25 dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, representing a wide variety of breeds and sizes. In addition, I was the proud owner of four dogs who each lived long, happy lives and reached their senior years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the important role pets play as beloved members of the family. As a school teacher, I enjoy a very flexible schedule during the summer months and would love the opportunity to support families who need a safe, loving temporary home for their four-legged companions. Whether your pet needs overnight care, companionship during the day, or some extra exercise and attention, I am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own dogs. As a teacher, I am currently on summer break, so I have availability daily throughout the week for play sessions and dog walks. I am also available for multi-night lodging. When you’re here, you’re family. Any animal under my care will be treated as one of my own. But with me, you get a whole family who are all trained in caring for dogs and cats, as each member of the household has been involved with fostering pups and raising kitties. The second floor of the house is separated by a door at the top of the stairs to allow separation between feline and canine friends if needed. Daily photos and FaceTime are available. We have multiple-sized dog crates if crating is requested. Although we may be new faces to your four legged companions, we will try to keep consistency in the rules you have at your home. If they are allowed on your couch, then they will be here. Feeding schedule will be dictated by how they ate at home. Walks will be frequent and there is a huge box of dog toys and cat toys to keep them entertained.
About: I have my own dog who is very energetic. I understand how to watch and care for a dog with a lot of energy and what they need I’m currently working part-time so I have a lot of extra time to care for dogs and any other animals and anything else that is needed. My backyard has a Fence and I have a dog. I have a lot of dog toys and have a perfect environment for other dogs to be happy just like mine.
About: We’re an empty nest couple with no children or other pets in the home. We recently lost our beloved dog and while we’re enjoying the freedom of not having a pet, we still love caring for furry friends! Our home has a fully fenced yard and we’re ready to provide a safe, loving environment for your dog while you’re away! We own a business and operate out of our home so there’s always someone around to give your pet attention, feedings and potty breaks throughout the day. We provide attentive, loving care for your pet. Dogs are let out on a regular schedule for potty breaks, exercise, and fresh air. Weather permitting, they’ll enjoy supervised playtime in our fenced in yard. We give plenty of attention, belly rubs and companionship so your pup feels safe.
“Simone was amazing! I would recommend her to everybody if I could! We were so thankful that she was able to take Millie super last minute. Millie was so tired from her play date that she even fell asleep on the car ride home. Definitely book with Simone if you need somebody to look after your pet!!!!”
About: I started back in 2010 with an adopted Cat who made such an amazing first “pet” that became family! After meeting my now husband, we adopted 2 beagle brothers who were 1.5 years old! Unfortunately one became very sick but we still have his brother who will be 12 this November! He loves car rides, treats, and walks around our neighborhood! I’m currently a stay at home mom which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry family member! I teach my 4 year old son preschool and enjoy a lot of outside time to get our energy out! I have a 4.5’ aluminum fenced in backyard with a 2 foot puppy fencing along the whole interior to ensure the utmost safety and keep your mind at ease. I have a very safe neighborhood with sidewalks to walk your pet. The neighborhood is also adjacent to our district school with a 2 mile walking path for all community members to use! I use this often to give both our dog and my children the ability to release energy in a safe space!
“Finn seemed to be having a good time every time I got a photo!! Scott was very nice and I felt comfortable leaving Finn with them. Thanks for providing a safe space to stay!!”
“I have been bringing my dogs to Angelita weekly for about a year now and I cannot overstate how wonderful she is. She is responsive, flexible in scheduling, and takes such great care of the dogs. She documents their entire day and always sends them home with treats. She even bought them Christmas gifts this year. I truly cant say enough good things.”
“Sujeong and Changsun (and Gucci) provided such excellent care for my pup, Jobu. I was traveling for an event and they helped so much. I know he was very well cared for. They shared such cute photos too :)”
“Dylan had an absolutely wonderful day with Michele, Nahla and Theo! Since it was his first day I was prepared to pick him up at noon time, but he was having so much fun he stayed until much later in the afternoon. We have already booked another full day in the very near future and I suspect this will be part of our routine! Michele is wonderful with animals and her dogs are happy, laid-back and great with those who come to play. I have absolutely no reservations about my beloved pup being with Michele and furry family members and give her an A+”
“We adopted husky mixed named Kiba from the shelter few months ago and he has really bad separation anxiety that we wasn't able to leave him home alone when we need to go out so it's usually my oldest step son or me stay home with him and missing out a lot until someone told me to try find a dogsitter. So I posted on Facebook that I'm seeking for one and Mollie commented so I decided to give it try with her. I'm glad that we did! We're able to go out for first time as family while we knowing that Kiba is in good hands with Mollie. Kiba seems very happy and tired from playing with his new friend Rumble. We're pleased about that so we definitely will have Mollie dogsitting Kiba again when we need to go out as family. Thank you so much! ?”
“Brenda is wonderful! She is very loving with my dog Rosie I can tell my dog really enjoyed her time with her and was excited to be back again. She is responsive when messaging and took pictures and kept me updated while she was with her . Will definitely have her watch Rosie again 😁”

“Kira was fantastic! She accommodated my last-minute booking changes, showed up right on time, and was so friendly. My dog absolutely loved her. I’d definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life, some cats, mostly dogs. I especially enjoy walking dogs! I volunteer at an alpaca farm for fun, and I have dog kennel and veterinary receptionist experience. I pet sit for family members who have both dogs and cats. I take animal care seriously and will do my best to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I work a part-time job Monday through Friday. My afternoons, evenings and weekends are flexible, especially over the summer. I walk my own dog twice a day. My dog is rather anti-social, so I prefer not to bring pets to my home. I can offer home visits, 2-3 visits per day, depending on your pet's needs. As I mentioned earlier, I love walking dogs and am happy to offer that service to you!
About: I am a certified vet assistant and have cared for 10+ animals in adult lifetime including friends and family. I’ve cared for a dog with severe epilepsy, and a dog with bone cancer. I also care for two senior dogs now along with training a new puppy. I walk my young lab puppy everyday for at least a mile and also play ball in the yard. Also my two senior dogs get very short walks to keep them active. I am a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule to walk dogs and care for them. I’m experienced in giving medicine and know how important sticking to a schedule is.

About: I have years of experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I would watch my friend’s dog when they would go on vacation, one of which was a senior dog. I am currently avalible after 5pm M-F I’d be available all weekdays after that time for evening walks or care. Weekends I’m available all day. All pets and homes will be handled with care and consideration. I know how to work multiple harnesses and crates if need be. I am familiar with different gates as well.
“She arrives with a smile and on time. She walks our 77lb pup with no problem. Our dogs truly do like het and warmed up to her quickly. We are pleased with Barb. She will be used going forward as both a dog walker and dog sitter. - Jenn”
About: I’ve always had a dog growing up. I watched friends and family’s dogs growing up when they were away. Your pet will love being with me and everything will be fine!! Im free everyday to come watch your pet!! Fun loving college student looking to make some extra income while enjoying the company of your pet. I have a somewhat fenced yard and I have a dog to keep your dog company. Also a lot of dogs get along with me when I first meet them.
About: Hi, I'm Bob – a retired non-profit professional and lifelong animal lover based in Ephrata, PA. With over 50 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets, I offer reliable, compassionate pet sitting services right in your neighborhood. Whether it's daily walking the dog, feeding or long-term caring, I am anxious to care for your pet. As someone who now has the time and flexibility to focus on what I love, I treat every pet like family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments – from energetic puppies to senior companions – and I'm happy to provide references from longtime pet owners who trust me with their beloved animals. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle as a retired individual with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. Without the demands of a 9-to-5 job, I have the time and energy to provide dedicated, one-on-one care to pets in a calm and comfortable environment. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or long walks, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and needs — and I truly enjoy the companionship they bring into my life. For me, this isn’t just a side job — it’s a meaningful way to stay active, helpful, and connected to the community. Some pets are happiest in their own surroundings — and I’m happy to come to them. I offer drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays depending on your needs. While you're away, I’ll keep your pet’s routine consistent and provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. I respect your home and your pet’s habits and will treat both with the same care and responsibility I’d expect for my own.
“Norene made my first experience with rover so easy. She responded in a timely manner and had no issues with taking my dog for a walk even in a mist. If I ever need help again I will make sure she’s the one”
About: I potty trained my dog. I can get dogs at ease and occupy them well. I'd say i'm better with younger dogs but I can take care of older dogs as well. I work part time but I wake up at 7am and let Max out. I then feed him and occupy him for a bit until I have to leave for 4 hours and let him out before leaving. When I Get back I take him for his walk and then give him his nightly bone. Before going to bed I let him out again. I have a huge yard so he can run around, not fenced but he is trained to stay in the area. He has toys everywhere and he's allowed to lay in furniture so he sleeps a lot as well. In client houses I'd do whatever they are comfortable with. I can go outside, stay inside, walk or run with them just let me know !
About: I know just how difficult it can be to be away and to find someone trustworthy to care for your beloved pets; especially those with medical and unique needs. That’s why I’m here: to make that time away as worry free and easy as possible! Friends aren’t always around to help out, and no one likes to stick their pups in a kennel. That’s what inspired me to become a sitter! I have a huge passion for making sure that pets are happy and healthy! There’s just nothing like bringing a smile to a pet’s face, so I can’t wait to do the same for your fur kids! I’ve been a lifelong dog owner, but have tons of experience taking care of them to boot! I currently live with my dog, a Chihuahua/Papillon mix, Rosie, and she is the light of my life! I grew up looking after pups and have experience with tons of different pets, from dogs and cats to fish and Bearded Dragons! In addition to taking care of may pets, I’ve also been a volunteer for the Suncoast Animal League, where I took in and fostered pups in need. I just loved this experience so much, and it definitely confirmed my wish to see every pet be happy and healthy at all times! I’ve also been a long-time pet sitter for friends and family, and now I’m very excited to extend my client base and help more pets & their families. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet in-person or video call. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pet and your care expectations. No one knows your pet better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pet tick! Finally, me and Rosie love meeting new dogs and cats! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I believe that the cornerstone of any good stay is communication. For me, good communication begins before your pet comes under my care, as I love to get as much information about you and your pet right off the bat! Getting a good idea about your care expectations is just as important as learning about what makes your pup tick. With that information in mind, I like to start thinking as early as possible about what a dream stay would be! During the stay, I like to send regular updates with accompanying pictures, so you can see just how well your pet is doing while you’re away. In addition to pictures, I like to send detailed information on anything you need to feel in the loop—from behaviors to meals to exercise times. Going the extra mile is just what I do best! *For house pet sitting, I am a currently working in Pennsylvania and able to travel with my dog, who is dog/cat tolerant & house trained, to you for 2-3 day weekend stays within 5 hours of Lancaster,PA.
About: I raised my own dog and best friend from when I was just a little girl! She lived until 16 years old so I have experience with my own pup from puppy to elder! I’m also a former but recent manager at a doggy daycare and boarding center with experience in medications, special feeding, some behavior issues and lots of dogs (and cats) in all shapes and sizes! I also have guinea pigs of my own and pocket pet experience. Full time RN so I have plenty of free time and MISS my daily dose of animals! Please let me love on your babies 💗 I work full time but usually have quite a bit of free time to hang out with pups (or cats or pocket pets!) who need that extra love and care! My own home does not allow animals but I am happy to offer any other services for your animals! I have experience in all kinds of situations through my pet care manager job of several years.
About: Hi! I am a college student looking for opportunities to earn some money while doing what I enjoy most-hanging out with animals! I have sat for family, friends, and anyone else who needs help, and would love to be trusted enough to walk/sit/watch your dog. Being a student creates lots of flexibility, specifically mid afternoon to night! I also can do early mornings and weekends if they are planned ahead. Respecting animals space and reading body language is incredibly important when going into their home and walking them! Understanding what they are comfortable with and creating a safe environment is top priority. Lots of treats are required lol!

“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”
“Betsy and Ron provide a perfect home away from home for our Coco! They are keenly sensitive to individual pup’s personalities and needs. She even cleaned off a windowsill for Coco because looking outside is her favorite pastime. Taking only one at a time, they give your dog all the attention. Another huge plus to me—their house is spotlessly clean. 5 stars is not quite enough!”
“Kira came in clutch after another sitter booked many months in advance cancelled last minute. This wasn’t a short stay but a 10-day booking. She took good care of Charlie and as usual, he came home super happy after his dogcation.”
“We moved to Lancaster recently and were anxious about finding a good and reliable dog sitter. We were so happy with how she cared for our dog in her home and won’t hesitate to use her again. Highly recommend!”
“As always Charissa & Shawn are amazing with the fur babies and I couldn’t be more grateful for them taking in my fur baby when possible. Thank you again and till next time.”
“Kristin was a kind soul and a Godsend for our dog when we had to make plans in a hurry. Our dog is nervous around new people but she didn’t want to leave! Five stars. :)”
“We had a great experience with Andrew and Chelsea! They took fantastic care of my dog and provided updates on him throughout my time away. He was a happy pup when I picked him up! I highly recommend!”
“Tanya and David were the best dog sitters they treated whiskey and Tequila as their own making sure they were comfortable every minute of this day they had a very extended period of one month and they sent me pictures and videos to assure me that they were being taken care of which they were and the best method that is possible they were very well taken care of I would recommend Tanya and David a thousand times over they have a very nice backyard with tequila and whiskey were able to run and enjoy time outside I highly recommend Tonya and David for dog sitting service. 10 star service.”
“Jessica was amazing with Felix, kept me up to date on how he was doing and provided a bunch of pictures. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she made it extremely worry free. Her dogs were extremely friendly and even welcomed Felix the minute they saw each other. I will definitely choose her to watch Felix again!”
“Donna is such a lovely and kind person and took excellent care of our dog. He is shy, timid and cautiously friendly but it didn’t take him too long at all to start trusting her and getting comfortable! Donna kept us updated with texts and photos throughout his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Amber was great with Kipper! Great communicator, very attentive and welcoming. Her home is set up wonderfully for any pet and I felt completely comfortable leaving him there overnight. She was awesome!”
“We will be a continuing supporter of Daniel for as long as we can. He and his kids are absolutely amazing with Charlie. I will get random photos or videos during the stay. Charlie has always come back super happy and worn out. If you need a sitter, I highly recommend!!!!”
“Lynnea took such great care of our girl, Piper! She posted pictures and videos of her regularly to give us peace of mind. I love the set up - a large fenced yard to run around, a covered patio to get out of the sun, and the "suite" where Piper slept. Lynnea's own dog, Ruger is a sweetheart. 💙 I have already asked Lynnea about day care for Piper to play and socialize with other dogs. We will definitely ask Lynnea to watch Piper again!”
About: Not a well experienced sitter but my nieces’ dogs don’t want to go back home after being with me. Your pets are going to be in a safe environment. I’m going to be out of work for a couple of weeks so I’ll have time to walk your pet, and keep them busy, then available on weekends. I have enough space to care for your furry babies. And a big park next to me to take walks and play around safety. I always appreciate a good companionship while watching tv, rubbing bellies are free.
About: I grew up around dogs and understand the love, attention, and exercise they need to be happy and healthy. I have a passion for the outdoors and enjoy everything from casual neighborhood walks to longer adventures. When caring for your dog, I’ll treat them like one of my own—providing plenty of attention, exercise, and care while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which allows me to provide dog walking services in the evenings and on weekends. Most weekends I am available, especially with a little advance notice to plan ahead. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits both their needs and mine. Growing up with dogs and having a love for the outdoors, I enjoy spending time walking and caring for pets, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and spent years caring for them, I understand their body language and can recognize when they’re tired, stressed, overwhelmed, or simply need a break. I will treat your dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs—so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.
“Giselle was amazing with our dog, Henry. She stayed in touch the whole time we were gone, updating us with pictures and videos. Henry was in such a great hands. He probably got more attention then he does at home! She took him for many walks, and found his favorite spot to be scratched. We absolutely recommend Giselle and will be calling on her again.”
