Personalized care for your dog or cat - Strausstown
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Strausstown
“Deirdre was our first ever sitter for our 4 month old lab puppy and after having a terrific experience with her, she will now be our #1 and only sitter. We have already used her twice just in a few week span. It is very easy to see that she loves what she does and my puppy was eager to run right to her the 2nd time we went.”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
“I chose Deb as my sitter the first time I used Rover and I will choose her again. If I have to leave him with someone again. She was fantastic with Levi. I much preferred the direct care of someone I can do a meet and greet with, get to know the person that is willing to care of my sweet Levi, like I do. She sent me pictures & up dates each day, they played outside every day, he slept in her bed. We go camping and Levi always goes with, but this time we went to an AirBNB (No dogs aloud) his first time away from us, and he did fine.”
“Our dog loved Lynnea! Lynnea was so attentive, considerate, and caring toward our baby girl. She can be very anxious and needy when being introduced to new environments. However, coupled with Lynnea’s own dog (who is so playful and cute) and her home being warm welcoming, our dog loved being there. We were updated with pictures throughout her whole stay. She loved all the snuggles and cuddles she was able to receive and was never alone. She came home nice and tired :) Sky looks forward to another visit!!”
“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“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!”
“Mayra and her husband was so warm welcoming! They let me know where Milo would be playing and hanging out. Which left me at easy leaving my baby boy. As well Mayra loves playing little games with the doggies she sent me a video of my Milo playing the game and doing so well! She shared pictures as well and always communicated with me when i would ask about Milo. Milo came back so happy ❤️ I would definitely book again with Mayra! Thank you so much!”
“We were anxious to have our dog in an environment with another dog that she has not met, since she can be a little unpredictable. Tristan set up a meet and greet and was confident that our dog would adjust. We are thankful to him for watching her for the weekend when we were in a bind and needed a sitter. We would definitely book again with Tristan if he’d take her!”
“Great sitter! Sent us assuring updates and pictures, of our girl, while we were away. We were thankful that this years vacation plan went as scheduled and we were able to have Kathy care for Nala during her 1st trip away from her Mom and Dad!”
“I am so happy to have found the the most loving and caring dog sitter for Teddy my Golden Doodle Mollie and her family took Teddy into there home and gave him lots of love I am so happy I found Mollie so that whenever I take a vacation again I can go knowing that Teddy will be well taken cared for.”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“Cassandra did a great job. Our dog had a really good time with her and her family. She had excellent communication and sent pictures and videos daily. I recommend Cassandra highly.”

“Amanda and her family did an excellent job caring for Aspen while we were away for the holiday. Our dog is usually fairly anxious when we have to leave her and stressed out when we return. This time she did so much better. She was happier and more relaxed. Amanda also provided pictures of our pup daily and Aspen really seemed to love spending time with Amanda and her family. If we need to board her again we will definitely use Amanda.”
“Cera was amazing with my puppy. He isn't even a year old yet and this was his very first time away from us. He was timid at first and Cera was always communicating how he was doing and sending pictures. I felt so good leaving him with someone that loves him like her own. I would trust Cera with any furry friend. She was absolutely amazing!”

“Kathy was great. She came to my rescue when I needed someone to watch my dog on moving day. I had never left Bowie with anyone other than friends or family but when I left him that day, I could tell he was in good hands. I would definitely use Kathy again to watch him and I would also recommend her to watch anyone else pets too.”
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!

About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa, an animal lover with a passion for giving pets the care and attention they deserve.

Obi is always excited to meet new friends and loves playtime, while our cat is more independent and enjoys keeping to herself, but she’s used to having dogs around. When caring for pets in our home, we ensure walks are safe by always leashing our pup, and we use a lead for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks in the backyard. Obi is crated when we leave the house, ensuring he’s safe and secure. He has access to his food bowl throughout the day, allowing him to graze at his own pace. However, we’re happy to accommodate any special feeding routines or requests to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for.

I’m available most days and can easily adjust my routine around each pets need- whether that’s early morning walks, middays visits or evening cuddles. I am also available for weekend care and overnight stays so your pup always has company and consistency while you’re away. When I visit or stay in a clients home, I treat it - and their pets - with total care and respect, I follow your exact instructions for feeding, walks and routines so your pet feels secure in their own environment. I’m very tidy, trustworthy and mindful of your space.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life, there’s always been a dog in my household. When I moved out on my own I had my first cat. I have done everything from bathing, cutting nails, pilling, to bottle feeding kittens. I currently have three dogs and six cats. I am comfortable and familiar with walking dogs, feeding dogs (up to six at a time), play time visits, feeding cats, cleaning litter boxes, feeding & caring for small critters such as mice, giving out treats, cutting nails. All requests welcome! I work 100% remote and my schedule is very flexible! Reach out to me with your needs and we can work together to make the best fit for us both! My animals are not short on affection or attention. I typically take my dogs on one walk a day coupled with hours of free time in the back yard. My kitties get special play time separate from the dogs and are snuggled to their liking. For my clients I spend a minimum of 30 minutes on my visits allowing the pups to get their zoomies out and get lots of pets.
About: I have always had a love for taking care of pets. Since I was a little child we always had more than 2 dogs in the house. I would help take care of them and provide them with the love they need. Our dogs had various issues over the years so I am experienced with dogs with varying health complications. Over the past 10 years I have done pet sitting as a side gig. I love getting to know people's pets and gaining trust. I have experience walking dogs up to 120 pounds and various walking habits. Currently I am available most week days and weekend with a few days heads up . I am also willing to do early morning visits. I am currently not accepting clients pets in my home. I do have a cat that just moved across country with him and my whole life is trying to make sure he is happy, gets some good plays in each day and is comfortable in our home space. Pets safety and trust so very important to me.

“Deirdre was our first ever sitter for our 4 month old lab puppy and after having a terrific experience with her, she will now be our #1 and only sitter. We have already used her twice just in a few week span. It is very easy to see that she loves what she does and my puppy was eager to run right to her the 2nd time we went.”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
“Our dog loved Lynnea! Lynnea was so attentive, considerate, and caring toward our baby girl. She can be very anxious and needy when being introduced to new environments. However, coupled with Lynnea’s own dog (who is so playful and cute) and her home being warm welcoming, our dog loved being there. We were updated with pictures throughout her whole stay. She loved all the snuggles and cuddles she was able to receive and was never alone. She came home nice and tired :) Sky looks forward to another visit!!”
“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“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 were anxious to have our dog in an environment with another dog that she has not met, since she can be a little unpredictable. Tristan set up a meet and greet and was confident that our dog would adjust. We are thankful to him for watching her for the weekend when we were in a bind and needed a sitter. We would definitely book again with Tristan if he’d take her!”
“Great sitter! Sent us assuring updates and pictures, of our girl, while we were away. We were thankful that this years vacation plan went as scheduled and we were able to have Kathy care for Nala during her 1st trip away from her Mom and Dad!”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“Cassandra did a great job. Our dog had a really good time with her and her family. She had excellent communication and sent pictures and videos daily. I recommend Cassandra highly.”
“Amanda and her family did an excellent job caring for Aspen while we were away for the holiday. Our dog is usually fairly anxious when we have to leave her and stressed out when we return. This time she did so much better. She was happier and more relaxed. Amanda also provided pictures of our pup daily and Aspen really seemed to love spending time with Amanda and her family. If we need to board her again we will definitely use Amanda.”

“This was our first time using Marian as a Rover sitter. She allowed me into her home to view the areas my dogs would be kept. It was a beautiful space and I didn't hesitate to leave them in her good hands. Within an HOUR or two of drop-off - we had an unexpected situation when one of our dogs became very stressed and sick due to the new environment. Marian kept me informed right away, was incredibly patient and compassionate and worked with me to come up with the best solution for my dogs. She even transported them to our home and transitioned our booking to drop in visits - which I so appreciated. She was kind, flexible, understanding - even after my dog had multiple accidents in her home - which had never happened before. She reassured us that she was a professional and used to these situations. We were able to proceed with our booked getaway ONLY because of Marians professionalism and kindness and flexibility. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional sitter.”
“Daniel and his kids were awesome with Charlie. He was able to meet with some accommodations that were required for the drop off. He took Charlie around and kept us updated throughout the stay. I recommend and will book again.”
“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!”
“Jennifer always goes above and beyond. My puppy is extremely picky with his food and often needs something different to encourage him to eat. This time, she even fed him by hand—and it worked.”
“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!”
