“Rillan is both professional and kind. During our travels, we received daily updates with our dog’s happy smile, which brought us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciate it and will definitely choose Rillan as our host again next time.”
“My bull terriers were taken care of well and walked daily if not more. Derya sent daily pictures and updates. He’s very responsive and even agreed to keep the boys an extra night when my flight changed to a later time. Thank you, Derya!”
“Jodi and Bruce treated our fur baby like one of the family, exactly what we were hoping for in finding a home away from home for her. She looks forward to a return stay, and we'll be confident leaving her in their care.”
“Tess and Curt are amazing with caring for dogs. They have a large wooded and fenced yard which is perfect for dogs to run around all day and know they will not get out and wander free. They sent updates daily, sometimes multiple times daily. Freyja seemed to be at ease and very comfortable with her temporary surroundings and company. I had no worry about the care of my dog. 100% recommend and will use them again upon their availability and my schedule.”
“Oh my god! The absolute best I’ve seen yet! Raven was well taken care of and Ryan often sent pictures of Raven! We were on a last minute trip, and Ryan saved us by picking up and dropping off Raven! What a great family and just took the upmost care of Raven! Ryan and his family are hands down the GREATEST!!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They took great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in such caring and reliable hands. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Our Jax is very skittish and does not take quickly to strangers. But he warmed to Allison in a short time. He stayed at her apartment and was in good spirits when we picked him up. I'll use her again if the occasion arises.”
“Alexis was fantastic. I booked her last minute and she did an amazing job. Sadie had an upset stomach when I dropped her off and Alexis did a great job with Sadie's meds and looking after her. She was feeling much better when she got home. Would definitely book again.”
“Katrina was an absolute blessing while watching our senior dog, Fudge. We were away for our daughter's graduation and she made sure we could be fully present without a second of worry. She took Fudge on gentle walks tailored to his pace, and constantly sent the sweetest videos and photos that had us smiling the whole weekend. You can tell she truly loves senior dogs — she was patient, attentive, and treated Fudge like her own. Returning to a happy, relaxed pup was the best graduation gift we could ask for. We trust Katina 100% and will be booking her again. If you have a senior dog, she’s your person!”
“Our dog seemed to fall in love with Kevin. We also think he came home with better manners than we left him! Kevin had good communication with us both in arranging the care and while we were away. We definitely hope to leave our dog with Kevin in the future.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Crystal while she looked after my 9-month-old Snowshoe cat, Mavis, during my spring break. Right from the meet and greet, she knew her stuff. She introduced Mavis to her apartment, and her pet is around the same age, Sushi, and gave us some great tips on helping Mavis settle in. The Blink camera in the room where Mavis stayed was a nice touch, allowing Crystal to check in on her whenever she was out, which was reassuring. Plus, she ensured Mavis got plenty of playtime – she understood Mavis's playful side. I was impressed by how Crystal helped Mavis and Sushi become friends. They hit it off after a little supervised playtime, which made me feel even better about leaving Mavis with her. What genuinely set Crystal apart was her communication. She kept in touch throughout my trip, sending updates and adorable pictures of Mavis. It was so reassuring to see Mavis happy and well taken care of while I was away. In short, Crystal is fantastic at what she does. She's caring, professional, and loves animals. I'll definitely be calling on her again next time I need a cat sitter.”
About: I have two dogs, a cat and a bunny. My additional kids. I watch my family's pets when they travel. My back patio and some yard area is fenced in so I can securely watch your pet. I work full time from home. Would be able to provide regular bathroom breaks, snuggles and attention throughout the day. Could do walks at lunch or after work hours. All pups would be treated like my own with lots of love, snuggles and care. Dogs are welcome on furniture. I would do my best to make them feel comfortable.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to tailor my care to the specific needs of each pet. Whether it's training a new puppy with positive reinforcement techniques or providing specialized care for senior pets, I focus on understanding and addressing their individual requirements. My approach includes regular communication with pet owners to ensure their preferences and routines are followed, making the experience as comfortable and seamless as possible for both pets and their families. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I start by ensuring pets are fed, exercised, and given any necessary medications. Throughout the day, I maintain their environment and address any needs that arise. My routine also includes regular updates to pet owners, providing them with peace of mind and ensuring continuity of care. Each week, I review and adjust routines to accommodate any changes in the pet’s health or behavior. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with secure areas, clean spaces, and safety measures like pet-proofing and monitoring. I also follow a consistent routine to maintain stability and comfort for pets. In a client’s home, I prioritize safety by following their specific instructions and maintaining their pet’s usual environment and routines. I ensure that all doors and gates are securely closed, and I keep the home clean and hazard-free. Regular updates and open communication with the pet owners are key to ensuring their pet’s well-being and their own peace of mind.

“Rochelle was very professional and effective at taking care of my cat for two weeks while I was on vacation. She genuinely loves cats and they are sure to love her back. I would definitely book her to care for my cat again.”
“Christa was a great pet sitter! She kept us updated with pictures and a summary of each visit and she made us feel comfortable about leaving our cat at home. We will definitely be asking Christa to come back for future cat sitting needs! I’d give her 5 stars all around!!”
“Hannah was the first person I've hired using Rover, and she was lovely. She took great care of my four feline children during three consecutive evenings when I had plans that kept me from being home at a "normal time." She put out fresh wet food, cleaned their litter boxes, and offered playtime for the "courageous ones." Hannah was very punctual and communicative, sending me texts when she arrived and departed and photos from her visits. She also made a separate "meet-and-greet visit" to get the lay of the land and learn more about my kids before she took the job. I was comfortable and supper happy with how everything went, and I'm excited to hire her again when I have to be away for travel. I highly recommend Hannah!”
“This was the first time we have used Rover or a pet sitter that wasn’t family, and we are so impressed and relieved by the care and attention Claire provided for our kitties! We booked last minute before our trip, and she still made time to do a meet & greet and sent thorough notes and pictures while we were gone. We will definitely book with Claire again!”

“Genevieve did a great job taking care of my cat! Not only does she follow all of the instructions, she also takes great photos and notes for the check in reports. I highly recommend her.”
“My situation was a little complicated. However Suki , had no problem adjusting to the evolving circumstances. She was caring, energetic and dependable. She was a joy to work with. I would gladly reach out to her in the future if the need arises.”
“Irene always takes such good care of my asthmatic fur baby! I love having a local animal lover in the community I can pretty much always rely on to love on my cat while I’m away. 12/10 recommend her for all your pet care needs!”
“We had Jana watch our cats in our home for a week and she was wonderful - reliable, followed our care instructions, and kept our home clean and tidy. I would recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life whether it be the 2 dogs that have been part of my family or taking care of neighbors dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part time so my schedule for pet care is very flexible and I would be available at most hours of the day. I have experience taking care of older dogs who just need someone to hang out with and I’ve taken care of younger hyper dogs that warrant extra attention. I am comfortable walking dogs on and off leash and crating them if need be.
“Zoe took excellent care of Meatball even coming out after 9pm for final feeding . We will definitely use her again. She kept us updated each day with photos. Thanks !!”
“Brenna was very accommodating. She offered to come meet with me and my cats prior to my trip to go over everything, which was super helpful and gave me peace of mind before leaving. She was excellent while we were gone, communicating during every vitist, even bringing in packages that were delivered while we were away. The cats did great and we would definitely book with her again!”

“Ryan was great and made sure my kitties had what they needed. They weren't feeling sociable that week, so he didn't see them to interact. But he took care of the basics, which is just what we needed! 👍😁”

“Katie and her family made our first Rover experience awesome. Clear, quick communications and day-of photo pictures were helpful and reassuring. Ziva came home tired from lots of yard time.”
“Tess and Curt were fantastic caregivers. I knew Beau was in great hands-they were warm and friendly and it was clear that they love dogs. In fact, the second day when I entered their driveway, Beau could not wait to get out of the car-this was certainly testimony to his great experience. I knew he was safe and I knew he was having fun interacting with other dogs along with Tess and Curt! I could also see from the videos that my dog was doing well in his new environment! It was a great experience for me and for my dog I will be reaching out to them again! Awesome!!!”
About: With 20 years of dog sitting experience, I have a lifelong passion for caring for dogs of all ages. I started dog sitting when I was 14 and have since provided overnight and drop-in services. Having grown up with dogs, I've helped train four puppies and nannied for a family with a senior dog for four years. My experience includes administering medication and catering to the unique needs of both puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. I am dedicated to offering reliable, compassionate, and professional care for your furry friends. I have 2 boys under the age of 5 so we have a louder, high energy house! I work remotely part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility each day to provide dedicated care, attention, and companionship for your furry friend. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety and well-being. Dogs are always taken out on a leash to ensure their safety. I assume all dogs are not friendly unless told otherwise, ensuring a cautious and respectful approach to each new dog. I am knowledgeable about foods that are toxic to dogs and take great care to prevent them from consuming anything harmful. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement, rewarding good behavior rather than punishing the bad, to foster a trusting and happy relationship with the dogs I care for.
About: Hi! I’m a college student at Penn state university with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my days around my availability and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.
“I cant say enough about Simone & Kenya. We were in a bind and they were able to help us with very short notice. They sent pictures throughout the day which gave us great comfort that our puppy was being well cared for. He was so very happy when we picked him up. I know he would like to visit again.”
“Ryan is great. He is responsive and takes good care of Leo. Ryan's puppy, Charlie, and Leo have become friends. Leo is looking forward to future visits with Ryan and Charlie.”
“Dean and Gwen were wonderful! They gave Annie all the attention she could have wanted. She was very comfortable and definitely enjoyed her time with them. I really appreciated the pictures and video they shared. Any dog that gets to spend time with them is a lucky pup!”
“We were a little apprehensive, never used Rover before, we were unfamiliar with Rillan, just had past reviews to help us choose. Happy to say, we were pleasantly surprised! Rillan is definitely a dog person. Our dog loves to play with other dogs, but dogs need to be monitored so they don’t get too crazy. She has a nice outdoor fenced play area and inside open space. Like a good kindergarten teacher, Rillan makes sure each dog plays nicely, separates those that need a time out and also gives individual attention. She sent pictures and stayed in touch, just for an afternoon of doggie day care! Our dog’s day ended with a nap and snuggles with Rillan and another dog hanging out on the sofa!! Will definitely use her again!”

“My dog Ruby absolutely loved her walks with Rochelle! Ruby was so excited every time she came. Rochelle was friendly and professional. I could tell that she had experience with dogs. I highly recommend her!”
“Brigette is wonderful! She's very prompt in her communications, and she's wonderful with my boy Newton. This is only the second time I've used her help, but Newton gets excited when she walks in the door :) After his walk, he comes home happy and tuckered out, which is wonderful to see.

When at home I help with feeding, training, and teaching my families 4 dogs In my home I am ok with pets sleeping in the same bed with me and I try to train them without loud commands, but rather visual and quick quite commands.

“My bull terriers were taken care of well and walked daily if not more. Derya sent daily pictures and updates. He’s very responsive and even agreed to keep the boys an extra night when my flight changed to a later time. Thank you, Derya!”
“Tess and Curt are amazing with caring for dogs. They have a large wooded and fenced yard which is perfect for dogs to run around all day and know they will not get out and wander free. They sent updates daily, sometimes multiple times daily. Freyja seemed to be at ease and very comfortable with her temporary surroundings and company. I had no worry about the care of my dog. 100% recommend and will use them again upon their availability and my schedule.”
“Oh my god! The absolute best I’ve seen yet! Raven was well taken care of and Ryan often sent pictures of Raven! We were on a last minute trip, and Ryan saved us by picking up and dropping off Raven! What a great family and just took the upmost care of Raven! Ryan and his family are hands down the GREATEST!!”
“Alexis was fantastic. I booked her last minute and she did an amazing job. Sadie had an upset stomach when I dropped her off and Alexis did a great job with Sadie's meds and looking after her. She was feeling much better when she got home. Would definitely book again.”
“Our dog seemed to fall in love with Kevin. We also think he came home with better manners than we left him! Kevin had good communication with us both in arranging the care and while we were away. We definitely hope to leave our dog with Kevin in the future.”
About: I will give your dog my full attention as well as my children. We all love animals. My children are super gentle and loving and love to take walks so finding time to take your dog for a walk will be no problem! I am home all day so your dog will get lots of attention! I am choosing to do this because the kids want a dog but I am not fully committed to buying one of our own quite yet, so dog sitting will please everyone. I have a huge yard with the option of fenced in and unfenced areas. We have very few neighbors so if your pup is a barker it will be not a problem. Lots of space to take dogs for walks without running into other people or animals.
About: I’ve always had family animals that I’ve adored and that got my foot into working in rescue! I’ve work with extra small to extra large dogs, a lot of cats and some other species. I feel very comfortable with behavioral differences in different animals. I’ve worked along side very talented vets and techs that have taught me a lot about medical care, as well. I work part time at home with a dog and two cats. I take physical and mental enrichment very seriously for all animals. Any animal I’m caring for comes first everyday. A tired dog is a happy dog. I have friendly animals at home, a large crate if needed and a separate room set up for shy animals to warm up to the other animals. We have a large (not fenced) yard but we take many long walks a day to keep up with physical needs!
