“Angelita is 10/10! Her care of our Boston terrier was superb. Communications around our reservation was seamless and pleasant. When our travel was delayed, Angelita was flexible with our drop off time - and pick up time. The outdoor space is perfect for pets and there were a few other puppies for Lucky to play with! We saw multiple pictures of her over the 24 hours we were away. When we picked Lucky up, Angelita even had a gift baggy for us!! She had disinfected our dogs bed and washed her bowls. You can’t ask for better than Angelita. Your pet will be in great hands.”

“Max a wonderful time with Charissa, Shawn and family! Not only did they go above and beyond for my pup Max, but they also made sure to reassure me that he was well and happy so I could focus on my family trip.

“My dog has had the same sitter for 14 years, so I was concerned about how he would adapt to a new person and setting. Grace was wonderful with him. She followed his schedule and routine. When I picked him up, he was relaxed and happy. Grace kept me informed about how he was doing with messages and pictures. I will definitely use Grace again.”

“I would leave more than 5 stars if I could. Sam was amazing! We reached out when our usual sitter was unavailable and Sam was so awesome she'll be the first person we ask in the future. She was super consistent in times she came and went above and beyond our directions. Sam sent a ton of pics and set aside time for play every visit. Our cats are kinda shy with strangers but by the end of the week they were sitting on her lap and playing. I would recommend Sam to anybody looking for a fantastic sitter for their cats!”
“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
“Elizabeth was extremely caring and responsible for our two cats during a month long trip during the winter (including bad weather). We would definitely recommend her for providing care for any fur family members.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats, young and old, for over 20 years. I have experience with administering oral and injectable medications. Cats deserve just as much attention and care as dogs! In addition to feedings and litter scooping, I’m also happy to play with your cat and brush them as well. If you need anything more specific, please reach out!
“Kat is fantastic! My two very shy cats loved Kat; she kindly spent time with both of them during each drop in visit we scheduled for 5 consecutive days and provided us with daily pics/updates. I highly recommend Kat for any pet sitting or walking needs. Thanks, Kat!”
“Sydney took great care of our two cats and our house while we were away for the weekend. She kept us well informed with plenty of updates (at our request!). She’s very professional and she left our place looking better than when she found it! We would absolutely trust her to care for our kitties and home again.”
About: I have been pet sitting and caring for cats since childhood. I worked professionally at a pet sitter business which included caring for cats. I fostered and adopted my own cat (Poe) in college and he has been part of my family for the last 7 years!

About: I’ve been the proud owner of a little Persian cat for 4 years and have over 5 years of cat sitting experience for my neighbor and brother’s cats.

About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!
“D was amazing!! She was available last minute for us and took such good care of our boy. Charlie adores her. If we travel up here again, we will definitely be contacting her! Thank you D!! 🐶🐾”
“My little boy loved daycare at Heather and Spencer's. He romped with her poodles, took a nice snooze, and had kisses galore for Heather. Already booked our next play date.”
“We are so very lucky that Mai was able to help us out in a pinch! She was very communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and taking care of our girl as if she were her own! Will definitely use Mai again.”
“Loved having Diane as a sitter. Sophie loved her and so did we. She’s high energy and Duane saw she had lots of walks and activity. You’d never be disappointed with Diane. Thanks so much for loving on our girl for the day. Thx for the umbrella too♥️”
“Courtney saved us from a last minute dog day care request. She sent me all the pictures of Dharmi having su much fun. Thank you Courtney for be so flexible, friendly and kind with my senior dog Dharmi. 🥰”
“Charissa was amazing with our last minute planning and willing to babysit our fur baby. Our pup loves attention and affection from anyone and everyone but he felt completely at home within her home and that’s the best feeling when you know your pet is doing well. 10 out of 10. Would recommend.”
“Gwendoline is amazing! She is very kind, organized, and nice lady. Jake had a nice and fun day exploring nature in her yard and making new friends, that was perfect! Definitely we will continue to come with her. We totally recommend her 100% 🩵😊 Many thanks🙏🏽”
“Dot had a such a great time with Maddie and her pups & kitty that she's still sleeping off her fun from yesterday! Maddie was communicative before, during, and after the visit, and sent a few pics during the day. I had a long & stressful day at work, but it was nice to know I didn't have to worry about Dot and could trust that she was in good hands!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.
About: I have been an animal lover and had dogs my whole life. My first job was working at a boarding kennel at 14 years old. I have worked with many different breeds. I am experienced with boarding pets in my home, pet bathing experience/groomer in training, nail trimming, ability to give oral medications, insulin injections (I have had two diabetic dogs), walking dogs of any breed or size. At this time I am very flexible. My life revolves around animals. I can commit to your schedule to suit you and your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and live away from high traffic for safe walks, I have dogs of my own for your pup to have friends to play with. I can keep my dogs separate from yours if needed. Patient, and quiet loving home with pet's needs as my top priority. Can take them for car rides or snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. I can pick your pet up and drop them off if needed.
“Beauty and her pack are wonderful! I can’t recommend Beauty enough to any pet owner! Our dog Freya had an amazing time and Beauty was very flexible when our plan changed to a later pick up time. She even offered to let Freya stay the night if that worked better for us. I can’t thank Beauty and the pack enough for giving us peace of mind when we can’t be with Freya!”
“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.”
“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“I wish I could post 20 stars for this dog sitter! She was exceptional! Very sweet and personable and I know she took great care of our dog while she watched her. Savannah also communicated very well with us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have plenty of experience with all kinds of dogs and cats as I used to be a professional dog sitter and walker!, I have 2 dogs of my own that I am constantly taking care of and I have much experience with all types of dogs! I work throughout the week but it’s usually mornings and usually off evenings and have a set routine schedule to be able to focus on all the furry puppers:)! I take my two dogs out on set times out in my front yard I usually let them roam free because I know them other dogs I would have on a leash and watch them, we feed them mornings and evenings and once inside just have them on their nice beds usually and let them roam where they want

About: Hey there! I’ve been taking care of pets for over 5 years now, and I honestly just love it. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, energetic puppies to sweet seniors who just want to nap. I’m also super comfortable with dogs that need a little extra help. Whether your pup is disabled, needs medicine, or just needs someone patient to help them get around, I’ve got you covered. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so my goal is to make sure they’re happy, safe, and having a good time while you’re gone.

I’m responsible and ready to give your pet the extra care and exercise they need. I’m available most weekends as well. I offer dependable dog walking and drop in visits. I’m great at following routines, and giving your pet the love they need while you’re away. I’m always on time and love sending photo updates!
About: Happy to help with all your animal care needs! Even shy animals seem to take to me quickly. I have house sat for entire homestead farms, caring for ducks, cows, dozens of cats and chickens. I have always felt very connected to the natural world and have a great empathy for all creatures great and small. I began training and caretaking my own dogs at age 10. I fostered for years as an adult before adopting my Hawaiian rescue dog. Friends and family have relied on me to assist with their pets a lot in the past few years. My very social and intelligent Border Collie has assisted me in training several puppies, helped to socialize shy dogs and taught dogs to swim. I work evenings and am happy to help with your pets during the day. I may be available day of - go ahead and send a request! I carry all clearances required for school teaching ( I also work in education) so I am a very safe choice :) I am very good at following your detailed instructions on how to best care for your pet.
About: I have been a neighborhood dog walker / pet sitter since childhood. I worked at a professional dog groomer / pet sitter’s business for over half a decade. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, providing care everywhere from huge yards to small city apartments. I love all animals as well, so I will care for and love your other pets too :) I work usually 9-6 schedule, so I could do morning visits, evening visits and lunchtime visits, but I am open and flexible to coordinate days and times you need. I am available usually anytime Sundays / Mondays as they are my days off. I can take your pets for walks anywhere out and about! I am comfortable spending time with them in your home, playing with them in the yard, taking them to the park - whatever you prefer!
“Kaelee walked our dog Bilbo twice this week and she was great! She was prompt and communicative in scheduling, got to know Bilbo a bit before the walk, and was careful walking him around busy roads. I appreciated that she helped us by not reinforcing his barking/jumping when greeting someone too.”
About: Hi, I'm Mindy! I provide trusted pet care right in your own home. I have over 20 years of experience raising dogs and caring for my neighbors' cats.I also volunteered at the Humane League of Lancaster County. That experience taught me how to handle all types of dog breeds, sizes, and behaviors safely.Since I do not host dogs at my house, my full focus is on visiting your pets. I promise to keep your furry family members safe, happy, and well-cared for while you are away! My schedule is fairly flexible throughout the week. I am available for morning and afternoon visits Monday through Saturday, as well as Sunday afternoons. I am usually available from 6am-5pm.

I can come by to your home and crate your dog after walks if need be and follow all instructions to make your animal feel safe and secure within their home.
“Shareem is the best dog Walker we’ve ever had. She’s consistent, caring, communicative, and always showing up for the best interest of our girls. Our two pitbulls are not the easiest to walk or manage but she meets their needs and requirements with no extra hassle. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“With our health challenges we couldn’t do life without Rachel loving and caring for Orla. She is the best. So friendly and completely reliable. We appreciate the reports and pictures.”
About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up; Dogs, cats, fish, iguana, domestic rabbits, goats, chickens, (oh my!) since I was about 5 years old. I admire every single creature as if they were my very own. This lead to me making it a side hustle (small biz gig) my senior year of high school (2012). Just recently made a Rover account and excited to meet new clients and new pets 😁. I’m very reliable in house sitting, drop-ins, walking, feeding, and administering meds. Just name it you got it! SCHEDULE I work part-time right now, so I am flexible to help meet you & your pets needs. I can help with drop-ins, evening walks most weekdays/weekends. Just hit me up let's work something out! :)) HOUSE SITTING/OVERNIGHT STAYS I'm requesting at least a one week notice for an overnight stay. I have three pets of my own, volunteering, and working part time, so I'll need to adjust my schedule accordingly! I have two golden girls 🐶 and a cat who still all kitten. A mix of low & high energy in my household so I give my cat at least an hour of playtime, and my girls just love to cuddle right up next to you.
About: Along with being the go-to petsitter and dog walker for my neighbors, friends, and family, I have professional pet care experience through Gochenauer Pet Resort as a kennel attendant, dog walker, and playtime supervisor. I have learned through both experience and training courses such as Dog Handler Academy. I work evenings, so morning and daytime pet care is ideal for me. The more time I spend around animals, the happier I am, so I am hoping to fill as much free time as possible with pet time. I am unable to use my home to house pets (as my own cat is uncomfortable with other animals) but I am happy to come to your house and meet your pets where they are.
